I got a chance to take a look at some pictures of our old tomato garden today. (Yes, those three pictured are actually tomatoes. They are German or Sausage tomatoes that we are only able to find at one tiny Amish farmer's greenhouse about 45 minutes from our former home.)

Anyway, it took a real effort to get the soil ready, and these were planted back at the end of May, and by July, the harvest was on its way.

After that, we'd be enjoying some homegrown tomato salads (We liked to cut them up with salt, pepper, fresh garlic, olive oil, and a touch of vinegar.) If that's not healthy, then I don't know what is.

Not just the food, but the whole "process" and "mechanism" (terms that I don't like to use for something as beautiful to us as this)

We were blessed, but alas, I am an apartment dweller now.

Great food and great memories.
