I love eating tomatoes.

Not the sorry excuses sold in supermarkets year-round here in the Northeast, but REAL tomatoes. In season, out of the garden. Ripe, sweet, juicy, delicious tomatoes.

I also like to watch things grow, so it's no wonder I like to grow my own tomatoes. It makes me feel like I'm not only enjoying nature, but participating in it. Encouraging it. Embracing it. And when it comes to pests, fighting it!

Over the next few weeks, due to the encouragement of a friend (thanks, Shelly!) I hope to share my love of tomato gardening in this blog.
