I haven't been able to grow tomatoes since I moved to this dry climate -- the skin gets hard and cracks, and I know I'm not the only one having problems. It's sad because tomatoes are the one food item which always taste better when it's homegrown.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10715455.post-60860928456051701832007-06-28T20:44:00.000-05:002007-06-28T20:44:00.000-05:00Yikes, I had not noticed nudie Colin!

Thank goodness I didn't post something of myself, like that woman who took a photo of her son and emailed it to everyone she knew. An acquaintance had to point out that you could see her naked image in the bathroom mirror in the background! I mean, I know my posture is not the most flattering when I am taking snaps of my kids. The horror!<BR/><BR/>Thanks, Anth, for shopping the photo and having it ready to edit before I got home from work today!Vetmommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03080433414311070111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10715455.post-72918501241531380532007-06-28T20:32:00.000-05:002007-06-28T20:32:00.000-05:00Yeah well, I don't have enough room to be messing ...Yeah well, I don't have enough room to be messing with the soil. I just popped in the one plant to satisfy an urge-- I was too late I think.

They look so beautiful & delicious. Like that Guy Clark song says "There's only 2 things that money can't buy and that's True Love and homegrown tomatoes".<BR/><BR/>And Ruby will be so impressed when she sees Anna's doll.

Happened here to mine too. I only got a few tomatoes and they were not great tasting due to too much rain. Houston is not the place for 'maters, I think. Daddy didn't want my advice on the soil deficiencies here, even though I've got 7 years of experience trying to grow them here. Oh well, maybe next year you should give him some of your chicken sh*t and compost, Jenn, so his can look like yours.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11428271200951124255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10715455.post-74517612685225629692007-06-28T07:07:00.000-05:002007-06-28T07:07:00.000-05:00Eric!! you should have left it alone it would have...Eric!! you should have left it alone it would have produced...Jennifer..you get first prize for presentation and what wonderful fruits...Anna..I thought that was a real doll/animal! you have done well there...top marks.<BR/>Eric..my Tommy plants have absolutely loads of flowers...but no fruit yet !!! we fed them again this morning...hope I don't have to 'chuck' mine!!

I had puned it properly and it got blooms but, No fruit so I pulled it last week and chucked it. I must have been too late ( April 15 ) when I started it.<BR/><BR/>Yours look good and thanks for the reminder about pushy mockingbirds. I looked for ways to discourage the ones diving on Patch several weeks ago.get2erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00647890748677821381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10715455.post-73259890037664501812007-06-27T22:01:00.000-05:002007-06-27T22:01:00.000-05:00What a great project!
