Our First Tomato

Our first tomato was a big surprise this morning when I went out to water. I hadn't looked for it in two days but this morning its orangy-red skin flashed brilliant in the morning sun.

Further inspection of the garden yielded some crooked-neck squash and a zuchini. Guess what's for dinner tonight?

See the grass in the picture? The grass on the left is wheat grass and the one on the right is oat grass. My kitty loves them both.

Killer Tomato Plants!

Four heirloom tomato plants--2 Brandywine, 1 Mortgage Lifter and 1 Mr. Stripey--are the tallest tomato plants I have ever seen. I am 5'2" tall and they are taller than me and half the the vines are bent over. Ever see the sixties horror movie Day of the Trifids? Sort of reminds me of that.

We'll Be Eating Well Soon!
