I'm so jealous -- we have all of two tiny tomatoes that have gotten ripe and another seven or so still green on the dwarven vines. It's been raining and cool all summer, and they simply don't want to grow. On the other hand, our ground cherry (also known as husk tomatoes -- similar to tomatillos but smaller and sweeter, more berry-like) plant has tons of lanterns that will probably all ripen at about the same time and we'll either have way more than we can eat before they spoil or the stupid chipmunk in our garden that has been pilfering our strawberries will hi-hosey the ground cherries the minute they are ready to be picked.

Gardening is one of my absolute favorite ways to bring me serenity. And cooking from my vegetable and herb garden is great for me too. I'm so happy to see other sober garden gourmets here!
