SUCCESS!

My thumb has never been anywhere close to a shade of green, but this year, I decided that I was going to grow tomatoes, AND I DID!!! I had LOTS of help and advice from Daddy, who always has FANTASTIC summer gardens. It has been a lot of work, and Duane has been great about helping. It has been worth it! Looking forward to more of these all summer long!

The first one...
Salads, sandwiches, & soups... oh my!
Already making plans for next year!

Still Growing...

The garden is growing-growing-growing; tomatoes and peppers are popping out all over!!! It is so exciting to someone who has NEVER been able to grow anything! We have had a bit of frustration--two tomatoes that had started turning red had to be tossed because of blossom rot, but we're hoping these are the exception and not the norm! Can't wait to use "our" tomatoes and peppers in the kitchen! YUM-O!!!!
