I have long said, a simple meal of sliced cucumbers and tomatoes, splashed with apple cider vinegar, with steaming corn on the cob.

It still holds true but I also really hope to have a nice ripe melon - any melon!

Long, long before any of this, I appreciate that first serving of spring greens.

who ate 7 almost-ripe sungold cherry tomatoes last week, after "cheating" and leaving them on the plants when he set them out.

I would say tomatoes, but as they are such a capricious crop for me, I'll turn my back on them ( ) and say, potatoes.
I just pulled some early ones out yesterday just to see how they were doing down there in the dark. I love having our home grown spuds in the pantry. I got smart this year and planted some early croppers, as well as the usual late ones, now I don't have to wait until September.

Other than that, I'd say the raspberries...

Catfish - I went from couldn't-get-enough-of to OMG-please-make-them-stop on green beans! . Sweet corn just started coming in. Yummmm!

I've been waiting all season for a few green tomatoes, but cant wait for the first ear of fresh corn to be picked I love some fresh corn on the cob!!!!!

Had my first tomato yesterday, a Burpee hybrid, 4th of July. A Ukrainian purple is almost ready too. Well have our first fresh corn tonight, again a hybrid, Breeders Choice. Weve been eating off the Blue Lake bush beans for a week or so but they have not produced in that rush I expected, just enough to eat off of with a 25 row. Thats OK. My canning green beans are Blue Lake pole beans that will come in sometime in August. The bush beans are just to give me something to eat fresh. Eggplant is in full production and I have some green sweet peppers I can use.

Ive been waiting on this. It makes it all worth it.

I hear that Ridgerunner!!!! Our canning beans a blue lake bush, we have a ton ready for picking, but Monty wants me to try to wait til he gets back home at the end of the week. I'll probably pick a row a day and can them up Need to watch the broccoli, they aren't very big heads, but hey at least we got some! Potatoes are finally starting to hill too. We didn't think we would get any potatoes or very little.

It sure is worth waiting for!
