Salad Days

I don't like to buy tomatoes, so it is always a mark of summer when we start harvesting them from the garden.We've been eating salads from the garden for a while now, but it is only in the last few weeks we harvested our first tomato, albeit a cherry tomato.
Here we have 3 different lettuces, arugula, basil,tomatoes, sno peas and the flower petals of nasturtium, bee balm and calendula.


There are some of us (not to be named), who say that a cherry tomato isn't a real tomato. A real tomato is one that you can cut thick slices off and make a sandwich with.
Today we harvested our first "real" tomato.

Now that is a real tomato!
