Whenever you need fresh fruit, vegetables and herbs to make a delicious salad, casserole side dish or added to your meals while cooking, they are available fresh from your garden.

Your reward will be all the fruit and vegetable you can place on your meal table. There is nothing more delicious than freshly picked fruit and vegetables, fresh off the branch. You may not know about how delicious tomatoes can be, until you place your own freshly picked tomatoes in your salads and sauces.

When you buy tomatoes and a lot of other fruit from the grocery store, quite often, the fruit have no real taste as the fruit may have been in storage for a few days or weeks and a period taken to transport the fruit to the store. Over all this time, the flavors tend to disappear. When you pick your own fresh tomatoes off the branch, the natural flavors are all there in your salad.

I always pick my fruit and spring vegetables immediately before I make my meals, so that all the delicious natural flavors flood my meals and salads.
