Aside from today being Independence Day for the U.S., it's also the traditional day that tomatos begin to turn ripe. I've had a couple dozen greenies just hanging out on the vine for what seems like forever but with no sign of turning red. That is, until yesterday when I came out to find two that had begun to ripen. I knew that they'd be ready on the 4th and indeed, they were. I entrusted the picking to my wife and son and they actually came back with three instead of just the two I had seen yesterday. They're small but they make me proud of my garden just the same. Happy fourth of July!
