I went through the back gate this morning into my neighbor's yard to help pick tomatoes. He had underestimated how fast they would grow and how much they would produce...wow! I spent an hour picking cherry tomatoes while Tristan slept in. My neighbor rewarded my efforts with a full-size grocery bag completely filled with tomatoes of all different varieties.
Needless to say, we'll be eating a lot of gazpacho.

I love gazpacho. It was one of the first things my husband made for me..
Oh how lovely that picture is when it's made bigger! Enjoy them!
Oh my...the first tomato of the summer, truly an important moment!! Our plants are growing nicely, but it will be well over a month till we bite into the first one...can't wait!!
Oh, enjoy them, and do tell us how the gazpacho came out :-)
