Harvest Time!

This past weekend I was able to pick the first vegetables (and a strawberry) from my garden! I was so excited to taste the tomatoes and they were delicious. I made a tomato salad with tomatoes, cucumbers, vinegar, olive oil, salt, and pepper. It is a great snack to have in the summer time. I usually make it with store bought tomatoes and as you can imagine the fresh, garden tomatoes make it so much better. I am going to make fajitas tomorrow night with the bell peppers.

The strawberry was a different story. It looked so beautiful and red, but it tasted really sour. I am not sure why. The only thing I can think of is that it is the first strawberry off the plant and it is not quite strawberry season yet. Maybe that has something to do with it. Hopefully, in June I will have sweet strawberries!

I planted different varieties of tomatoes so they range in size from medium to small. It's hard to tell in the picture but they are they prettiest color red. I also have at least 4 more tomatoes to pick off the vine in the next few days. I have so many tomatoes that I am trying to think of some good recipes with tomatoes. I have a tomato bruschetta recipe I am going to try. If you have a good one please share!!
