First
This is the first of many, many summer tomatoes from my garden. I planted plum tomatoes - seen here - and yellow cherry tomatoes.
I regret that I haven't posted any photos of my strawberry bonanza. They were obscene in their sweetness and perfection. I'm still getting them off the plants in Mid July. Unfortunately, they tend to get eaten in the garden before a camera ever gets close to them.
I promptly sliced this bad boy up with a bunch of other tomatoes and some English cucumber, and arranged it on a bed of baby spinach around a Parmesan Flan, which I then sprinkled with lots of fresh basil, more shredded Parmesan, and good balsamic vinegar....Great summer supper.
My first beefsteak should be ripe in the next few days. And my peppers have all been doing equally as well. I'm looking forward to fresh salsa from my back yard.
