Ted made a "rice paddie" shaped hat using cardboard that I wore while picking veggies for dinner. A naked Jamal was always nearby munching straight off the vines.

I liked the tomatoes. We later had a greenhouse further on down the hill. I myself experimented trying to grow some weird stuff like peanuts.

When I first got to SR, I found a stainless steel bowl that had a pleasant sound. So, with great difficulty, I nailed a hole through the bottom, and hung it from the garden fence with a big gong hammer. It made a great and long-lasting OM sound. Betty went OFF, though; she loved that bowl...

I'd love to walk barefoot in that garden today, feel the sun on my face and the smells and imaginings of fresh meals prepared from the produce.

Pictures are great memories. When I quit drinking in
1974, I was the keeper of the garden, along with Russell
Strnad(he lived with us for 20 years). We had an unspoken
bet(who would pick the first ripe tomato. He somehow
ALWAYS, ALWAYS, picked the first. He would sneak out at
night, I think.

Tomatoes have always been my favorite. Long Island, where I grew up, seems to have the ideal climate however, producing tomatoes with very delicate skins due to the humid and overcast conditions of summer. Still, I fondly watched our Sunnyridge tomatoes more than any other vegie. Even the green unripe ones at the end of summer made great pickles.

In your home town, Teddy, this was a perfect season for growing tomatoes. We had the most abundant crop in many years. From the tiny sweet grape tomatoes, (a fairly new product on the east coast) to the juicy plums and the 3 pound beefsteaks. All were growing around a huge bouquet of basil. We just about lived on tomatoes, basil, mozzarella and olive oil all summer! It was also a good year for peppers, eggplant (parmigiana), zucchini(hmmmm) and cardoon, the plant that artichokes grow on. Figs and raspberries by the ton! Next comes the beauty of the changing leaves.
