You are truly among the blessed. What, it's still May, and you have a

tomato? Hallelujah! Blessed be the home gardener. Compared to the

industrialized tomatoes of Florida, your tomato has 30% more vitamin C,

30% more thiamine, 19% more niacin, 62% more calcium, and 14 times less

sodium. Enjoy.


don't forget 1000% more flavor!


My bad. At least a 1000% more flavor, yes!



And that may be an underestimate... I love garden-fresh tomatoes! The
plants are growing well; looking forward to a good harvest. The cukes not
so much so. One has already given up and withered. Still three growing,
but not very quickly... If I just get fresh tomatoes though, I will be
happy.
