My bushes suddenly burst into bloom after a rain the other night. They have never had so many flowers on them but this year they have a lot more sun since we lost a tree that used to shade them.
My daughter-in-law's mom sent a box of beautiful home grown tomatoes all the way from Maryland. She packed them in "peanuts" and they arrived just fine. Some were totally green when they arrived several days ago but are quickly ripening. Steve and I are doing our best to stay on "top" of them as they ripen but it is hard with Helen not here yet. Dave doesn't like them because he says they give him heart burn. I loooooove them so it's a big salad every night and what could be better than a BLT sandwich?
Fresh homegrown tomatoes is my favorite summer treat. Not many available around here yet.
ReplyDeleteJim loves tomatoes. He loves tomato and mayo sandwiches. Also BLT's. Anything. I like them cooked in spaghetti sauce or salsa or ketchup.
ReplyDeleteYour bushes are so pretty guess they needed a little watering :) Ah nothing better than home grown tomatoes. We love them. You are right a BLT is one of my favorite meals. We love to make salsa with our extra ones.
ReplyDeleteYour flowering bush is gorgeous. I'd love to clip a few little stems and put them in a vase in my kitchen. So pretty.
ReplyDeleteAmazing that she could ship tomatoes, but I guess that's what the stores do. If you ship them green in peanuts, that sounds like a good idea. Nothing like home grown tomatoes, they look delicious. :)
Lucky you, flowers and tasty home grown tomatoes. Sorry you miss the grans.....hugs!
