The time has arrived in our local Kentucky gardens when you can step along a garden path and pick wonderful sun-warmed tomatoes. Oh yes, don't forget to take the salt shaker with you so you can eat those tomatoes right in the garden. What a delicious treat, especially if you are a tomato lover.
Do you ever get tired of eating home grown tomatoes?
I love pictures like this...simple, colorful, unique shadows. Very nice!
ReplyDeleteturquoisemoon -- Still trying to get accustomed to my new Canon. I thank you for your gracious words about my image. -- barbara
DeleteYour picture has me practically devouring my computer screen. Our tomatoes aren't to this red-ripe stage where I live, but we're patiently waiting. Some folks like sugar on 'em, but salt and pepper for me. Can eat 'em like apples! I like the photo's simplicity and background.
ReplyDeleteNature Weaver -- my great grandmother used to slice up a platter of her garden tomatoes and sprinkle sugar on them before she served them with dinner. I liked them (I was young) but as I grew older the salt shaker was preferred as I grazed through my father's garden. You are a true tomato aficionado if you can eat them like apples. thanks -- barbara
DeleteI love the photograph. I am almost ashamed to admit that I didn't grow tomatoes this year. those who are, are having a tough time with them. I do love fresh tomatoes, though, and am already planning for them next year. In the meantime, I will be getting them from the farmer's market. such a difference in those homegrown from store-bought.
ReplyDeleteTeresa -- That is why they have farmer's markets -- to get fresh garden tomatoes -- just in case you didn't get your tomatoes in the soil in time. I cannot tolerate the taste of store bought so I experience a tomato fast for most of the year. thanks -- barbara
DeleteThat settles it! I must grow some tomatoes!
ReplyDeleteHattie -- I agree -- even if you pot up a few tomatoes and put them in a close to the hose sunny spot. -- thanks barbara
DeleteFresh tomatoes right off the vine and a sprinkle of salt....YUM! That's my favorite summer treat. I never get tired of them.
ReplyDeleteMamabug -- Nor do I eve get tired of them -- any kind, any where, just so they are fresh from a garden. thanks -- barbara
DeleteYes yes, that tomato is yelling that it wants to be eaten. I'm salivating, and have to wait till Sat. when I work at the local Tailgate Market to buy my fresh from the garden tomatoes. Your pics look great!
ReplyDeleteBarbara -- Great that you found a good source to buy fresh tomatoes -- thanks for the comment -- barbara
DeleteThe berries and the tomatoes...best things about summer. Oh, and the sweet corn.
ReplyDeleteNCmountainwoman -- Anything fresh from a garden is up for grabs by most folks and you sound like you are one of them -- thanks -- barbara
DeleteA true homegrown tomato is such a treat. A taste so unlike store bought varieties.
ReplyDeleteMichelle -- Hope you received that rain we got in Central Kentucky -- I imagine your garden would welcome it -- barbara
DeleteYummmm. Lucky you. I drool looking at that luscious photo.
ReplyDeleteJune -- Tomatoes can be used in so many ways. I don't think I have met a person that does not like tomatoes -- including my dog Sal -- thanks -- barbara
DeleteI look forward to a BLT each summer with our first ripe tomato. The tomato a fine subject for your new camera. Keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteGrampy -- Yes. a fresh tomato used in a sandwich is so good. I'm trying to learn the tricks of the camera and figure I'll be doing this for quite some time -- thanks for the comment -- barbara
DeleteMine are still green... but coming!
ReplyDeletebirdman -- did you ever try fried green tomatoes? They are quite tasty -- thanks -- barbara
DeleteI can't seem to make anything grow or live, but love fresh tomatoes. I have to just settle for my kind neighbors donations.
ReplyDeleteCrack You Whip -- You are fortunate to have sharing neighbors as so many folks do not grow home gardens anymore. But I think home gardens are coming back. thanks -- barbara
DeleteNope... never!
ReplyDeletebtw There is a 'tomato bandit' in Portland this summer. Lots of buckets w/ plants placed around the city. I'll blog about it soon.
Birdman -- A tomato bandit! This sounds like a good story. Or bad as someone is a bandit. Look forward to your tale -- thanks -- barbara
