4. I can think of very few things that taste as good as a tomato right off the vine
except perhaps a tomato off the vine with a bit of olive oil, some fresh ground pepper, and a splash of salt hmmmm hmmmmm

11. How about an orange off the tree outside your bedroom window
. . . I live in Northern Ontario now, but I lived in San Diego for 14 months - 79-80 One place had an orange tree right outside the bedroom window talk about YUMMM! I had a greenhouse up here 2 summers ago - and yes picking a wee cherry tomatoe off the vine and eating it right away was a delicious experience.

12. I live in Florida - so oranges right off the tree are common
and grapefruit. Never cared much for grapefruit until I moved here and tasted fresh ones.

8. Bah - I'm not expecting mine until September
My seedlings have just started poking their little leaves up, and if this year is like the past few, no matter when I put them in they don't get around to setting fruit until the morning fog leaves - in the fall.

10. has the ground thawed yet?
my daughter's boyfriend is from there - and his last message was that you were expecting snow flurries. Last week I think.
