Tomatoes in Somerville
Growing up on the second floor of her family’s Somerville triple-decker, Brown remembers picking and eating tomatoes right off the vine from the yard, and salting them with a shaker hanging from a piece of twine. She recalls those tomatoes sun-drying on the roof; eggplant resting under bricks; and pasta drying on laundry racks.
Love this city summer memory from the new Edible Boston issue, a free magazine available all over Boston. Non-sequitur photo from the children’s clothing line Bobo Choses. I can’t get their stuff out of my head.

I just had a conversation with friends about changing something in the world so we could have sun-ripened tomatoes year round.
