Yes, I know that it was a month ago according to the calendar, but my official method is when I can pick a ripe tomato from the garden. And that happened last night. We had been getting cherry tomatoes for about a week, 6-12 a day, but last night was the first full sized tomato. So, summer is here!
Guess what I did with it? Yep, I made a sandwich out of it. Today in my lunch I had a sandwich with homemade wheat bread, homemade mayonnaise, homegrown tomato, and extra sharp cheddar cheese. A sandwich doesn't get better than that.

What???!!! You didn't make your own cheese?
I was thinking the same thing.
By that criterion summer here in England doesn't start until mid-September, just as it is starting to get cold again! Some summers the tomatoes never ripen. After a cool start at least we are now getting some warm sunshine, so there is still hope for September tomatoes. But in my sunny garden in a couple of hours I will be eating lovely tasty cherry tomatoes imported from Spain, with wholemeal bread and cheddar cheese. In fact the thought of it makes me wish it was lunchtime already.
Renee! I wish I could make my own cheese... maybe some day I will learn how. For now I will have to settle for homemade yogurt :)
Peter, that would be hard. I can't imagine not having tomatoes in the summer.
