Phil has an answer:
More fresh garden tomatoes.
A little tomato who knows her onions can go out with an old potato and come home with a lot of lettuce and a couple of carats.
Herbert V. Prochnow
When I eat a tomato I look at it the way anyone else would. But when I paint a tomato, then I see it differently.
Henri Matisse
A homegrown tomato, you’re never going to taste anything like it. There is nothing close to it, the sweetness. And strawberries: The ones you get in the store are so hard; but you get a homegrown strawberry, it just melts, I’m telling you.
