Mary S - Sweet Chick says:“Home grown tomatoes, home grown tomatoes. What would life be without home grown tomatoes?! Out in the garden, get you a ripe one, don’t pick a hard one. Eat ‘em with eggs, eat ‘em with gravy, eat ‘em with beans, pinto or navy…..”
Isn’t that how the song goes? I think I’m missing a line in there somewhere.
Anyway, I LOVE this pick Mary Ellen! You nailed it with these colors!

Mary S - Sweet Chick says:Ah! I remembered a bit more of the song!
“Only two things money can’t buy, that’s true love and home grown tomatoes!”
Sorry, enough silliness……

Cuban Queen Crazy Chick says:Great pick, Mary Ellen! Fresh and summery
I know what you mean, all this rain has prevented us from planting our veggies, too. Yesterday we finally had a little bit of sun, but then it went right back to rain!

J Yee smart chick says:Mary Ellen, what a luscious and gorgeous Pick for tomatoes, my sympathies to you on so much rain in your area – we too have been having a very cool and damp spring, up in the Pacific NW too – sending you some wishes for more sunshine, so your tomatoes can grow!
and Ivy, sorry to hear you are having similar weather too – what kinds of veggies do you have planted in your garden? I am in awe of folks like both of you who do have veggies planted in a garden.

NY Bella says:Sun kissed and delicious! What is life without a freshly picked home grown beefsteak? Alas, the rain here has prevented any thoughts of planting! Maybe next weekend…it’s getting late….
BTW, I love your pick!
