It's Attack of the Killer Tomatoes!

Hi My Lovelies!

I know it's been a little bit of time but we went to the great state of Texas to see if it was a place we could retire to and to visit some of hubby's relatives.  Although we thought Texas was great, I think the extended hot weather would bother my mom too much.  So the search continues.

What I am so excited about is something very silly to a lot of you.  Let me back up a little, my dad was a fantastic gardener, grew lots of veggies, especially tomatoes.  That gene did not pass on to me.  I have tried and can do ok, but, nothing to write home about.  So I tried a new brand, called German Girl (I figured since I was German the plant would feel a sense of family).  Two tomatoes so far, over a month later, but they are some great tomatoes!  Look at the size of this baby...


I will say that the tomatoes sat and sat and once I left the state and my son took over they turned red!  I still maintain that I did most of the work and that it was just dumb luck that they "happen" to ripen when I was not home.

My next post will be to share my Terrier Town progress.... I am keeping up so far!

Until then make sure you do something you love!

Susan
