You say: tomato; I say: in Portland?

The sign says it all. It's nearly July and this is the biggest tomato I could find. We've had cool, even cold weather (we turned the furnace on this morning!), lots of rain - just not good tomato weather, even for these Oregon Spring 'maters that are bred for the climate.

We have lots of green tomato recipes in our kitchens. We have patience. But know that the first bite of a juicy home grown tomato is pure manna. Accept no substitutes. We just don't get very many of them.

Sigh.
