Home Grown Tomatoes...

[imported_Luster]

Definitely one of my favorite foods! There`s just something about eating a tomato grown in your own back yard! They just taste so GOOD! I eat them whole like an apple!

Got about 10-12 large green ones right now, none red yet!

I give it one more week!:clap:

[Do I sound a little obsessive?:out:]

Yes you do :D

I hate tomatoes! However my parents love them! They like to buy some from a lady who sells them fresh down here and (not to sure about this lol) marinate them in something and than have some mozzarella cheese on top, looks good but I just dont like the taste :D

LOL... you sound like my oldest son!!! We used to make him take just one bite of everything on his plate. He would GAG on the tomatoes!!! Cracked me up.....:hurray:

Nice! So jealous.

We`re in the process of selling the house and 2 cars and buying another house and moving out of state so nothing for me this year... but next year I`m planting a large garden.

My wife and I`s "date night" the last few months is going to Borders or Barnes and Noble and reading up on Hobby Farming (yeah, at 34 years old that`s our version of wild and crazy on a Friday night).

Plan to grow enough vegetables to support our needs for the year, have a couple of goats for milk, and chickens for eggs. Looking at a couple of acres so I`m also planning lots of fun projects. Smoker, earth oven, solar oven, parabolic cooker, rocket stove, and solar distiller for spotless rinses.... can`t wait to have some room to play. :D

We lost 3 plants because of all the rain in the NE. 3 more were damaged. They are coming back strong and actually have tomatoes. My father planted 4 new ones and everything is doing well. I will eat them mixed in with anything, but plain by themselves yuck. My wife and I were going to make a ton of pasta sauce with our crop of roma`s, but we may come up short. I will have to keep telling my 3 yr. old that I just sprayed the garden with chemicals otherwise nothing from the garden will ever see the dinner table.

We have 6 plants.. 3 Big Boys, 3 "Grape" tomatoes. We`ve been having the grape tomatoes for almost a month but the big guys need another week or so.

Only two things that money can`t buy... true love and home grown tamatas.

I used to have that too. I did two things to get rid of it.:)

1. Lost 20 pounds.
2. Quit eating after 7 pm.

So said one of the great songwriters of our time :biggrin:


If I`s to change this life I lead
I`d be Johnny Tomato Seed
`Cause I know what this country needs
Homegrown tomatoes in every yard you see
When I die don`t bury me
In a box in a cemetary
Out in the garden would be much better
I could be pushin` up homegrown tomatoes


Due to life, I didn`t get my Spring crop in this year and it might be just a bit late for the Fall crop. Oh well, there`s always next year. :)

Ain`t that the truth!!! There`s another expression: "Life gets in the way.":)
