I have NEVER, on my own, grown anything that hasn't died QUICKLY right afterwards. I am a self-proclaimed black-thumb. I strive to be a good gardener, I just have no clue about anything. When our house is finished being built, and I have the time to plant a garden, my first priority is veggies! I want to grow fresh organic vegetables to feed my family...and maybe so many I could share with the neighbors! I'd love to learn how to can for the winter and get into all of it! I have a wonderful friend, Shelley, who I keep picking her brain and she knows EVERYTHING! ;) Yes, Shelley...you do!
Anyway, I wanted to show you the surprise I had waiting for me today. It took THREE MONTHS, planted from seeds, but finally the cherry tomatoes that I planted have started to bloom....and one little guy decided it was time to be a tomato and not a flower anymore! Yes, Shelley taught me that tomatoes are first flowers! (I'm so dense, I tell ya!) Here is my pride and joy...and hopefully I can show you more pics soon with lots of red ones! This little guy is so small and cute! :)
edited to add: I was showing Steve and I found 2 more little guys! uh, I mean tomatoes! :)
I understand your excitement. I remember my first tomato plant. The trick was getting to them before the bunnies and squirrels.
ReplyDeleteI was just rereading your post, and you have grown in your belly three beautiful children!!!!!! And they're surviving just fine! You're such a great mom of them and I'm sure your tomato plant will do just fine!
