This time of year I'm missing delicious,
still-warm-from-the-garden Ohio tomatoes
gift from a friend - fresh off the vine
Most years it's difficult to grow tomatoes here due to the cooler climate and short warm season. Often they develop on the vine but don't ripen. One of the only good things that can be said about the ten 90 degree days we had this year is that tomatoes had enough hot days to ripen!
I eagerly cut into these tomatoes and savored the taste - probably the best we've had since moving out here. But, not too far back in my memory is the taste of Ohio tomatoes, especially those grown in that wonderful Ohio River mud in Gallipolis - now that's how a tomato should taste!
