almost BLT time

We don't bake our own bread. It's too hot and there are many sources of excellent bread. 

Tomatoes, we grow. Lettuce, we grow. Bacon we grow and will have by the end of the month. Mayonnaise we can make with our eggs and a bit of olive oil. 

All in all, that makes for the best meals of the year. 

But waiting for the first tomatoes to ripen can feel like an eternity. The plants are full of green ones, and we are watching and waiting every day for ripe ones. Soon we will be overrun with them. But not yet. Maybe they are waiting for the bacon.
