… vegetables grown in your own back yard.
I’ve been thriving on fresh tomatoes – both the cherry variety and the much larger type (I forget the exact variety Regan planted). They’re best when picked and eaten while still warm from the sun, juice dripping everywhere and the terrifically sweet taste making your mouth water for more. It doesn’t matter if there’s a small mark on them, or they’re not a perfectly round shape. The experience is just so good.
You grow accustomed to tomatoes bought at the supermarket that you forget just how good they are meant to be.
At the supermarket, you hunt for the ones which look bright and red, unblemished and not too squishy. They’re watery, flavourless and hardly can be called sweet. They’ve been picked too early, not allowed time to ripen naturally, have been usually sprayed with all sorts of things and have travelled for miles from their home to get there.
I began thinking, inadvertently, about how this relates to blogging and blog design.
Good things take time to develop and if hurried unnaturally, just don’t have the same taste and experience.
Home grown blogs which started out just as someone with a passion for writing are often so much better than manufactured ones which were engineered for fast success and growth. A blog from a stock standard template that hasn’t been altered may be missing that something unique and special.
