Gardens

Can I just say... There is nothing better in the morning that a Cherry Tomato picked fresh from the small patch of garden in our back yard.

Came home from taking Princess to day camp, let the pooch out and since we had quite the storm last night with some good rain, figured I had better check on our tomato and cucumber plants. (We also grow herbs but tomato and cucumbers are the regulars.) Well I saw that we had a little bunch of the cherry tomatoes turning red..one especially red one, so I picked it, used the dew from last night's rain to wash it off, and popped it into my mouth.. OH..my...talk about sweet and a great flavor..wow.. Looks like we will be having more by the end of the week and maybe a few cucumbers..I can't wait.

BTY..hubby was reading an article in the NYT this morning about people who like to eat local grown organic food but can't get to the farmer's market. They now have people who will come in build you a garden in your backyard, weed it weekly, and harvest the stuff and leave it on your back porch in a box for you when they are done..LOL!! They are calling them Lazy Locavores.

Here is the article: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/07/22/dining/22local.html?ex=1374465600&en=5ea9bfd45d9e20d6&ei=5124&partner=permalink&exprod=permalink

I am sort of that..a semi-Lazy Locavore...but I do have to say..I really do enjoy the harvesting part from our little patch. Yummy..
