Homegrown Tomatoes
Homegrown tomatoes, homegrown tomatoes, what would life be without homegrown tomatoes? Can't get that song out of my head. I just put in 5 tomato plants yesterday. That may be a record number here. This year, I think, they're even more illegal than last year, because there's more of them and they're in the ground instead of a pot. I dug up a new bed in my last good sunny spot, which happens to be along the property line on the southeast side of the house - not within the homeowners' association guidelines for vegetable gardens. Now, since a good part of this bed is going to contain flowers, I say this is not a vegetable garden, but a flower garden that happens to have a few tomato plants in it (and peppers, and basil).
As I'm typing this, one very bold rabbit is eating clover in the lawn not 10 feet away from me. Just leave the newly planted stuff alone, OK?
