There is nothing better than picking up sun-warmed tomatoes and smelling them, feeling them and scrutinizing their shiny skins for imperfections, dreaming of ways to serve them.

It's difficult to think anything but pleasant thoughts while eating a homegrown tomato.

I love tomatoes, and they're so good for you.

Working in a garden calms me down.

To grow a tomato or a pepper and prepare a meal from your labor and care is primordially satisfying.

I love being in my garden. I don't plant a lot of exotic flora, but I do spend a lot of time outside doing manual labour.

I love working in the garden.

I love to pick tomatoes at the end of the day, when they're still warm from the sun.

If I'm really under pressure to get work done, I can adapt to most situations, but I prefer to be at home, in a comfortable chair, with as few distractions as possible.
