Success!

Some of you may remember this post from Eastern Market: http://eschmidtphotography.blogspot.com/2012/06/buying-local.html 

These are tomatoes from our patio plant that I assumed we would kill!  It was a great surprise when we returned from our trip to find that our wonderful house/dog sitter picked them for us while we were gone.

Beauty is all around you

Buying local

Going to Eastern Market is one of my favorite summer activities.  Not only are the fruits & veggies yummy and inexpensive, but it's also a great atmosphere.  Tons of street performers, great cafe's and families fill the street making it the perfect summer retreat. 

This pizza was amazing!  I am not a big pizza eater and I had to wait an hour in the sun for it, but it was totally worth it!  I had the Smokey which was prosciutto, roasted garlic, chopped parsley, mozzarella, smoked Gouda & ricotta. 

Our new "patio plant".  It's easy to maintain and grows smaller tomatoes.  We'll see how long it lives...
