The poet Pablo Neruda has a poem about Tomatoes that starts,
The street
filled with tomatoes
midday,
summer,
light is
halved
like
a
tomato,
its juice
runs
through the streets.
He could be talking about our farm at this time of year. Tomatoes are everywhere around here. 
We grow multiple successions, each in a different field, and right now several successions are yielding at the same time. With the summer sun still in full force, the plants are thriving and the Tomatoes ripening almost faster than we can pick them. But it’s glorious and we wouldn’t have it any other way. It means we get to feast on all our favorite Tomato dishes⎯Tomato Salsa Fresca, Heirloom Tomato Galette, Grilled Cheeses with fresh Tomatoes, delicious Shakshuka, and of course fresh Tomatoes, Basil & Pasta. Pablo would approve:
the tomato
invades
the kitchen,
it enters at lunchtime,
takes
its ease
on countertops,
among glasses,
butter dishes,
blue saltcellars.
It sheds
its own light,
benign majesty.
⎯ from Ode to Tomatoes, by Pablo Neruda
