Anticipation

Someone needs to inform my tomato plants that it is July 17th. They don't seem to realize that the oodles of green tomatoes in the garden should be a glowing crimson by now. Perhaps, the poor things are frightened of becoming the T in the BLT sandwiches I'm craving.

I'm so ready for a nice, juicy, home-grown tomato! The waxy, mealy, poor-excuse-for-a-tomato, store bought tomatoes that I've had to settle for since last summer's tomatoes gave out are just not cutting it anymore! We had such a rainy spring, that I guess they just haven't gotten enough sunshine, and the twelve tomato plants in my garden are taunting me with their greenness. Come on tomatoes! Turn red already! I wanna eat ya!
