Of all the boastful gardeners that promised me tomaters this year, I just got my first from a non gardener that has gardener friends.
Delicious!!!!
I ate some sliced with chili garlic sauce, shrimp, hoisin, salt and pepper and some sliced with mozzarella, ham and balsamic vinaigrette (and lashings of salt and pepper)
LOL!
My father in law (RIP) used to send us his first tomatoes. He’d actually put them in a box and mail them to us USPS. They almost always arrived with every tomato entirely intact, and we had the best BLTs for a few days every July.
We’ve really missed that, the last few years - not just the tomatoes, but the love and pride that he took in his garden, and the satisfaction he got from it.
