I finally picked up a loaf of sourdough bread today…

when I arrived home I took out a few pieces of bacon from the freezer and microwaved them… I like crisp bacon;-)… when bacon arrives home, two pieces are folded, two of them put into a ziplock bag, and into the freezer so it is easy to get pieces out to use when needed…

it was difficult to cut the bread as it was so fresh, but eventually I managed to get two slices…

then I cut up the gorgeous large tomato that a friend had given me which was perfectly ripe…

finally, a good amount of miracle whip, bacon, tomato, and pink salt between two slices of bread…

oh my… yum…

as a child when we had corn on the cob it was always with fresh tomatoes, lol…

yesterday I had some excellent corn with a bit of garlic sausage…

today I made a delicious toasted tomato sandwich with another tomato from the garden…

seems like my technique of bringing them in just as they start to turn from green and putting them on the shelf in the kitchen has been working…

a few weeks ago I picked a beautiful ripe tomato from the tomato plant… when I turned it over it had blossom rot and I had to toss it..

last week I picked another one that had just started to turn the slightest shade of orange… it went onto a shelf in the kitchen and turned nicely red, and when it was turned over the bottom was perfect;-)… and it made a lovely open-faced sandwich…

today I took off the next tomato, this one is a bit smaller, but I am hopeful that it will ripen without the blossom rot;-)…

hoping that this will turn into another beauty…

did a bit of planting on Wednesday, on one of the warm and sunny days, lol…

added pansies to a section of the bathtub area as well as two pots on the stairs… included a bit of alyssum in the pots… looking forward to the scent as I walk up and down the steps…

the tomato went into one of the planter boxes in the side garden… I tried to get the calla into a floating container, but it didn’t want to cooperate so I left it for a bit, lol…

went out to the veggie garden the other afternoon to see how everything was doing… it had been a much cooler day…

I’ve been spending most of my time in the house in front of the tv…

discovered that a stalk on one of the tomatoes had bent right over, I think from the wind…

I found a stick, put it in alongside the injured stem and then tied a nylon strip (from pantyhose) to the stick in a few spots…

I am hopeful that it will recover because there are two nice looking tomatoes on it…

fingers crossed…

mouthwatering…

on Monday, I made a toasted tomato and bacon sandwich, with a tomato from a friend…

it was delicious and reminded me of my beloved…

he made the most delicious tomato sandwiches…

I couldn’t figure out why they were so delicious… at some point I realized that he used a ton of Miracle Whip…

but, my oh my, they were mouthwatering…

in May, I was very happy to be able to get some veggie plants delivered from Jonathan’s Farm…

amongst them were some very nice beefsteak tomatoes, which for some reason I keep calling beefeater, lol…

I planted one in a pot on the deck and it produced a lovely large tomato which has gotten more beautiful by the day…

July 13, starting to turn…
July 18, nearly ripe…

last night I got a fresh loaf of bread and today I picked the tomato and made a delicious tomato sandwich…

yum, what a wonderful treat;-)…

we had a wonderful time away, but it is always lovely to return home;-)…

after everything was unloaded, the first thing I did was check out the garden… it looked good, other than the veggie patch in the side garden… it may have got missed in the watering schedule, lol… both of the tomato plants looked dead…

got out the hose and gave everything a good drink, and then I sat on the deck with a cold drink and my book… sigh…

although the tomatoes looked dead, the water revived them and they look 100% better…

had a hot tub and sat outside reading until it was too dark to see;-)…

glad to be home;-)…

I am so pleased with how the garden is coming along, even with this rather changeable weather…

there are teeny little cucumbers starting to grow… at least one butternut squash has started, and there is a lovely beefsteak tomato…

the beautiful strawberry got eaten… and not by a human;-(… not sure if it was a bird or a squirrel, but I’m leaning towards squirrel, lol…
