I cannot WAIT to taste that first home-grown tomato of the season!
.
I am waiting patiently for THAT also.
Decades ago, my grandfather and his brother (my great uncle)
would compete every year year to see which of their two
vegetable gardens would produce the first vine-ripened
tomato of the year before July 4th.
If no tomatoes won before the 4th, the contest was considered
a 'draw' for that year.
As I remember it, my great uncle won more times that not.
This was when I was a boy and too young to catch my father's
'gardening bug' yet - so back then I didn't care.
