the first tomato of the season

July10_344
there is really nothing more delicious than a home grown tomato and there is nothing more exciting than the first tomato of the season. this is a 4th of july tomato, which i love to grow because they are always ready early in the season. though i can never quite get one by the 4th! close enough i guess. 

we haven't eaten it yet...it's sitting on the kitchen windowsill waiting for a few companions to make tomato basil bruschetta deliciousness! can't wait.
