The perfect tomato

If you’re going for taste over looks, the heirloom Goldie is as heavenly as it gets in a tomato. I prefer mine in a sandwich lathered in mayo and Old Bay seasoning, skipping the bacon and lettuce. One slice is the width of the bread. It’s worth waiting all year for these to kick in.

If you look carefully at honey bees returning to the hive (and you have only a fraction of a second to see this), the legs of some are loaded with pollen, almost like a basket. Here’s one. Look for the yellow. (Photo by Rachel A. Williams)
