Ladies and Gentlemen, we have just harvested the first tomato of the season.

This is huge for us!  Last year, we lost our tomatoes to late season blight.  It was a major setback for us and expecially hard since we are such tomatoes lovers.  I never would have imagined that losing tomatoes would make me question myself so much.  But as I was pulling those vines out last year, I was asking myself if I was truly cut out for this kind of life. Maybe I would be better off in the city with a small garden in the backyard, I thought.

I have checked this years tomato plants every day since starting them in February; examining each and every one to check for signs of disease.  So when I saw this little guy, I had to have him!  As you can see from the picture, he’s still a little green on top, but I couldn’t resist.  And the flavor?  Words just can’t describe…

Beautifully, after I took my first bite, ‘Here Comes the Sun’ played on my ipod.  So fitting.

Maybe I’m meant to do this after all.
