Holding on to the Summer

The summer is almost over folks. :(
The thought of not having Jersey Beefsteak Tomatoes, summer corn and melons is making me sad.
I try to visit as many farmers markets each weekend to savor as much of what Jersey has to offer because I know soon it will be over.
I also want to mention that my first tomato plant has graced me with a ripe tomato. Yes, my single tomato is perfect. It has no insect marks, it is a perfect shape. And yes, I love it so much that I will hold on to it for as long as I can. I will even take pictures of it. It is a great feeling when something that you planted and watered and watched over, protected and talked to, finally produce such a beautiful tomato.
I am so proud.
