Still Alive
Wow, I haven’t blogged here since the end of June. I certainly didn’t intend to go that long without updating. I guess there isn’t a whole lot to say… other than the garden is doing pretty well. The tomatoes are coming off the vines by the gallon bucket now, which is always fun.
Garden-fresh tomatoes are one of my favorite things to eat. The garbage sold in the stores is overpriced, have no taste, and usually have some sort of light wax on them.
There’s no comparing the two on taste, in particular. Tomatoes sold in the stores are picked prematurely and are artificially turned red by exposing them to a gas. Although the ‘maters turn red, the tomatoes aren’t really ready to be eaten because there hasn’t been enough time for proper cellular maturation. Garden-fresh is the only way to go in my book.
