We Have Tomatoes!
This is the greatest day in my short stint as a gardener. After getting up this morning, I (in what has become part of my regular routine) went out to check on my tomato plants, and lo-and-behold there are several tiny little tomatoes, where once there were blooms.

I have been secretly enjoying the postings of the progress of these tomatoes.
ReplyDeleteThere is very little that compares to a garden fresh tomato. Mmmm - so many possibilities. Looking forward to their graduation. Watch out for the birds in a few weeks time and please post shipment instructions soon :)
I love some garden-grown tomatoes, and Alabama's soil is pretty acidic, so they have a distinctive taste.
ReplyDeleteI hadn't thought about birds, but I have been concerned about a couple of rabbits that I've seen in and around the back yard for the last couple weeks. Now I'll have to add birds to the list of things to worry about.
Have any cats?
ReplyDeleteIf not I imagine since your tomatoes are up against the wall that you could economically pick up some kind of fine mesh product at a home improvement center that would easily screen the tomatoes and be easy to set up.
We are pullin for you out West.
