It’s only the middle of July and some of our tomato plants
are already over five feet tall and bearing fruit. The tomatoes are not yet ready to eat, but by this time next week
we may very well be enjoying fresh, organic tomatoes again right from our garden.
I refer to the tomato plants as ‘ours’ but I should really
say they are my husband Wayne’s babies.
He spends much time with the ‘girls’ making sure they are comfortable
and have just the right amount of fresh water to drink. He gently puts stakes around them to keep
them from falling and ties their delicate branches with special ties as not to
hurt or damage them. I think it is all the
care he takes with his ‘girls’ is why we have such an abundant harvest of tomatoes
every year. And what an abundance it
is!
