The Fruit of my Rooms


This is one of my favorite times of year. Being a September baby, I've always been partial to the end of summer/beginning of fall time of year. I love the feel of the air, the fact that the days are beginning to cool off a little, and the best part, my garden is finally producing things to eat.

I grew yellow tomatoes this year. I remember as a kid, my parents grew them and I loved the fact that they were less acidic than the red ones. I'm partial to the yellow cherry tomatoes as I can eat them like most people eat popcorn. I wasn't sure if they were going to do anything or not, as right after we planted them, we had a major wind storm that tore them up pretty bad. However, looking at them now, it seems that the wind storm did them a favor.

It's nice to sit down to dinner and have a salad that is made up of the things you've grown yourself. It somehow makes them taste better, and is a lot easier on the pocketbook. Now if you'll excuse me, I've got more tomatoes to pick. They're beginning to take over. LOL
