I couldn't wait another day, another hour or another second....It was sitting there on my counter looking so nice. It smelled sooooooo nice ....so with my steak tonight I HAD to eat my first tomato of the season...It was FABULOUS. Not very seedy, nice amount of "meatiness" and great flavor. I also picked a few leaves on my basil and had that with the tomato. What a nice accompaniment to my steak. Last year I didn't get a single picked tomato until well into august. I am so PSYCHED!
Yippeeeeeeeeee.... I'm so glad that you couldn't hold back. I would have felt like a total weakling if you had been strong enough to resist. I never can. In fact, the first tom never lasts from one side of the garden to the other with me. I just give it the gentle squeeze test...then SNAP! then... BITE! :-D ....................heaven. Congratulations for the first tom. Lucky so-and-so.
Awww 'tisn't fair!! You're all eating the friuts from your garden and all I've had are a few strawberries and cherries. Still, I'll be scoffing mine when yours are all but finished.
Sounds like the tomato lived up to your expectations! It certainly looks deliciuos sitting there. Nothing's ripe outside here, so I'll have to wait too.
Ohhh and it looks so good too! I bet it did taste even better. I don't blame you at all not being able to hold back, i know i sure wouldn't,,,lol. Well done, and hope you have more soon.
Oh my, tomato and basil is a match made in heaven! That looked, and I say looked, like a beaut! Liek Sjoerd, my first tom is eaten selfishly on the allotment, when I am all alone, the same with most first pickings, I always scoff them. Very jealous, I won't be picking any until August!
They taste so---------good when they come from the garden...I am patiently waiting for mine...we are getting alot of rain so I hope that doesn't knock them off the vine...Sherry
