Fruit Of The Vine

The First Tomatoes Of The Season

Nothing can make a person salivate easier than the thought of the first tomato of the season picked fresh from the vine. For several months the store bought tomatoes have satisfied the palate but that is where the flavor is described. I have watched blossoms turn to little green nubs. These nubs have now developed into large green tomatoes. It was a vigil waiting to see which would be the first to begin its ripening process. Over the weekend I noticed two beginning the cycle. Perhaps today will be the day to enjoy!
