ART OF GARDENING

"It's difficult to think anything but pleasant thoughts while eating a home grown tomato"- Lewis Grizzard

HOME GROWN TOMATO My husband is the hard working vegetable gardener at home. For him gardening is a great stress reliever after a long day at work. He told me it's cheaper and healthier to garden than go to see a psychologist. It's true! I have never seen him smiling so handsomely as when he hold and tasted the first fruits of his harvest. The photos below were taken last year. Although he planted 10 new organic tomato plants this summer, our new photos are not yet ready. So I am sharing photos from last year.
MY HUSBAND Tasting the fruit of his labor. This year he planted many yellow tomatoes but they are not as lovely as the previous year. There is nothing as satisfactory or thrilling than gathering and eating the vegetables one had grown.

ME AND HANDFUL OF YELLOW TOMATOES Yes, I love these organic toms. Very sweet and satisfying. Everyday, we eat salad and put lots of fresh tomatoes on it. Gardening and cooking are complementary creative pastimes.
