A Bountiful Harvest...:-)

Okay...maybe NOT so bountiful!! We have once again tried growing tomato plants this year. Last year, if you remember, the squirrels got away with most of the fruits of our labors! This year, we decided to outsmart them and put the plants on the FRONT porch away from their home, aka the huge pine tree next to our balcony out back. Well, we immediately got ONE tomato which turned out beautifully...but then nothing. About a bazillion blossoms (yes, I counted them!!!) but no more fruit. We enjoyed some tasty sandwiches the night (July 8th) we picked this lone specimen. Anyways, I am happy to announce though that after a couple more weeks of just blossoms, we now have 3, yes THREE itty bitty tomatoes starting. We are quite thrilled...just call us Farmer Kevin and Farmer Collette!
