You Say Tomato, I Say...Oh My!

Two years ago dh and I put in a few square foot gardening beds so I could try my hand at vegetable gardening. Our first year was pretty good. We had peas, lettuce, some beans, cucumbers, radishes, and tomatoes. All in all, not too bad. However the tomatoes (which we were looking forward to the most), were on the small side and just not as good as we'd hoped. (they tell me last year wasn't a good year for anyone's tomatoes here in the northeast)

Anyway, so this year we decided to concentrate mainly on growing some GOOD tomatoes along with a few other vegs for salad variety. We dug, we tilled, we added miracle grow, we bought and planted just about every different variety of tomato plant we could find, we watered, we waited.
And finally, we have some tomatoes, and they are just staring to ripen! Yesterday I picked the first few ripe tomatoes. One very special tomato caught my eye. Here it is in all it's glory.





Ahem...

What can one say about something like this?...

I did check my little garden chart to see exactly what variety of tomato we planted in that part of the garden.

It was...


Wait for it....


A Big Boy! What else!

The thing is, now I'm a little concerned.
We also planted some Better Boys....

  14. Thank you for the tantalizing tomato. Don't tell anyone, but I was mildly aroused.

    P.S. I love your posts. You sort of remind me of my daughter,Colleen at Freshvintage. Not only the antiquing stuff, but your off beat sense of humor.
