"I was at the Farmer's Market this morning bright and early and was not disapointed! I have been looking forward to this all week. Everyone I asked this week said "there won't be anything good there yet". Boy were they wrong! I got vegetable plants that already had lots of vegetables on them, herbs in pots, green beans, new potatoes, fresh bread, jam, raspberries, fresh baked muffins, a tiny head of cabbage... and a Farmer's Market bag to put it in. I will surely be back next week. Thanks to everyone who has made this possible. I love knowing where my food is coming from and that I am supporting my neighbors (and saving a bundle of money, too!)."

THE TOMATO SANDWICH
Guest Blogger - Mickey Cummings

(Mickey P. Cummings is the Union CountyExtension Coordinator and will be at the new “Ask The Expert Booth” at the Farmers Market on July 4th. Bring all your garden, tree, and shrub problems to the expert!)

There are many things I look forward to each year. I can mark each of these in a chronological order. I look forward to Valentines Day, my son’s and my wife’s birthdays, Independence Day, my wedding anniversary, the opening day of Georgia Football, Deer Season, Trout Season and Christmas. But, there is one day I look forward to with great anticipation.

The first day I can pick a home grown tomato is a time of celebration for me and it has been a great day for me for 50 years. I love tomatoes picked fresh from the garden. I like them peeled and placed in a biscuit. I like to eat them with fresh vegetables and cornbread. I like to smother them under sawmill gravy. My favorite way to eat them is between two slices of bread.

I guess my mom and her mom gave me this love for the tomato sandwich. It is a simple recipe. You need two slices of wheat bread or white if you prefer. Spread onto the bread a goodly portion of mayonnaise. Cut one slice of a large red or yellow tomato and place on one slice of bread. Add salt and pepper to according to your taste. Place the two slices together and enjoy the sandwich with a big glass of sweet milk. There is nothing better on a hot summer day
