[Ace]

Indeed Sally, we are spoilt for choice and it's all so good.
I must just comment that I've been absolutely loving the tomatoes since arriving in the Mediterranean, they are fully ripened prior to being picked, you can definitely smell and taste the difference.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Just like home grown Ace :)

[Ace]

I'm not much of a gardener Brenda as I cannot look at worms but my folks always (and still) grew vegetables and I miss that flavour.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

We grow tomatoes (and I make tomato sauce) and strawberries. Also occasionally cucumbers and carrots. We don't have a very big garden plot, but the tomato taste is far superior to bought tomatoes :)
