There are few seasons that have such a distinct set of smells for me as summer does. The scent of wet, hot asphalt sizzling at sunset, the rich aroma of coconut sunblock, the heady wafts of a grill heating up, and most of all the sweet, intoxicating smell of tomato plants. Nothing says summer like garden-fresh tomatoes and few things in life taste quite as heavenly as a plump, juicy red orb plucked directly off the vine. Of course farmer's markets and grocery stores will be overflowing with heirlooms, cherry tomatoes, and Early Girls, but why shop for tomatoes when growing your own is pretty simple? Even if you aren't a green thumb and don't have a ton of yard space, you can easily pull a nice harvest on a porch or patio just as well. Shaking your head? What if I told you I spoke from personal experience, having filled my tiny backyard with a beautiful variety of thriving tomato plants...
