It's happening. People can't give away cucumbers and squash. (Virginia said she had made as many pickles as she could tolerate.) The tomatoes are coming in. Here is a recipe for tomato toast (in case you are tired of avocado toast) that Douglas sent me from the NYT. I will spare you any recipes for karela, or bitter melon, since you won't like it unless you acquired a taste for it having a) lived in India or China b) cancer or c) diabetes. Yes, karela is said to have many health benefits, some of which have even been proven! Me, I just like it. I like to eat it, and I like the vine that two years ago climbed up to Toby's apartment. Trying to start some here, though late in the season. . .
Gotta get me some tomatoes this weekend! This is inspiring.
