I waited so long. But here you are. Finally.
And what could be more delicious than a fresh tomato from my garden? Fresh basil from my garden, too. On top of bread, with mozzarella, olive oil, and balsamic vinegar. So simple. So good.
“But, Amy, I don’t have access to your garden,” you say. “And I don’t have my own.” Whimper, whimper. Well, all is not lost. You can always go to your local farmer’s market. It’s a close second.

Red, white and green together.
All joined in my mouth. :)

WOW! THANKS EVERYONE FOR PLAYING ALONG. SUCH FUN ON MY END!!
Tomatoes and wine.
Basil and mozzarella.
French bread and more wine.
Nothing is better.
Than garden-fresh fare. Sunshine.
And, of course, more wine.
Sooooo jealous looking at your fresh garden green! My son is a tomato lover.
I apologize.
My children read the haikus.
Three hate tomatoes.
I am Rebecca.
Melissa identified me.
Haikus define me.
Red, round, juicy fruit
That four of my kids think foul.
I sneak you in food.
They don’t realize
Spaghetti, pizza, et al
Die without your charms.
Roma tomatoes
Tiny, but finally mine!
In my mouth, all gone
They flavor my mouth
Sweet like candy from nature
I want some right now!
Beautiful round red
Now to start a garden small
What delights in store
There’s nothing better in the summer than tomatoes from your own garden! These are gorgeous!
Oh, you tomato lovers… Tom Robbins would be proud of you.
I wait patiently
flower…fruit…finally ripe!
worth it every time
oh man, that looks sooo BRIGHT RED And cheery. We had a cherry tomato plant one and it fruit two beauties before the plant dies.. envy envy!
Deep red full bodied
Is this some kind of red wine
Tomato paired well
tomatoes were made for mozzarella…..and basil….yeah…a nice crusty French bread…and oh yes….vino..!!!!!!
You and my friend Rebecca really should get to know one another. One of my favorite people, talk to her almost daily. Both you crazy nerds asking people to leave comments in haiku…
I need more tomatoes. Time to hit up my coworker!
Sweet and juicy fruit
The luscious seeds, meat, and skin
You drip off my lips
Tomatoes yummy!
Gone ever too soon, you are
From my great garden
I remember having to write haikus in college. I was never good at it. But you’re challenging us non-creatives!! I’ll have to think about it and come back. For now I’ll just say your tomatoes are gorgeous.
Childhood memories
Recall this dish to my mind.
Dreamlike quality.
All the more lovely
When the fruits of your labor
Are enjoyed as such.
There you are, lovely.
Get under Amy’s knife. Now.
And be delicious.
On a hamburger
Or solitary, with salt.
Either way is great.
Those juicy innards,
Pick the seeds out of my teeth,
Obey the crimson!
And I am spent….
