1. You California (I'm assuming) people are making me jealous.

I won't even be PLANTING tomatoes for another 3+ weeks!

[DrDan]

2. close - Florida

I shall share my enjoyment of that first tomato tasting if you like . . .

3. Grrr....

:mad:

Just kidding-- hearing that tomatoes are ripening somewhere gives me hope. :) Still green w/envy, of course.

[DrDan]

4. I can think of very few things that taste as good as a tomato right off the vine

except perhaps a tomato off the vine with a bit of olive oil, some fresh ground pepper, and a splash of salt

hmmmm hmmmmm

[beac]

5. OK, now you're just torturing me...

;)

[WhiteTara]

6. with a bit of basit on top!

yummmm

[DrDan]

7. YOW . . . I forgot the basil . . . right you are

11. How about an orange off the tree outside your bedroom window

.

I live in Northern Ontario now, but I lived in San Diego for 14 months - 79-80

One place had an orange tree right outside the bedroom window

talk about YUMMM!

I had a greenhouse up here 2 summers ago - and yes

picking a wee cherry tomatoe off the vine and eating it right away was a delicious experience.

12. I live in Florida - so oranges right off the tree are common

and grapefruit.

Never cared much for grapefruit until I moved here and tasted fresh ones.

13. Grapefruit with brown sugar

MMMMMmmmmmm

8. Bah - I'm not expecting mine until September

My seedlings have just started poking their little leaves up, and if this year is like the past few, no matter when I put them in they don't get around to setting fruit until the morning fog leaves - in the fall.

9. I'm jealous. We're months away from tomatoes in New Hampshire.

10. has the ground thawed yet?

my daughter's boyfriend is from there - and his last message was that you were expecting snow flurries.

Last week I think.
