Red – Now with more Fruit

Finally! One of the little tomatoes turned red. Nope, didn’t pick it… but look at the trunk of that mutant tomato plant; it’s growing fur!!

Confederate Jasmine. Like this because you can see the little wagon wheels in the center…

UPDATE:

I picked it! Our first organic tomato. Sure, it’s small, but there are a hundred of them on the mutant plant. And I have another strain started. {I like tomatoes.}

Pineapple update after the jump…

    In my mind I picture you in a bright sarong, with your hair covered in flowers and a hollowed out pineapple, filled with ice and some drink strong with rum. Pamibe, Queen of a small tropical paradise!

      Like Carmen Miranda? :D

      The fantasy is nice, but the truth is vastly different… as truth usually is…

      I’m just an old southern woman. And, it’s a rule, I don’t know who made it up – old southern women must dig in the dirt.

      Sometimes I do sit outside with an iced tea, though. ;)

    By the end of the growing season you are going to be so tired of tomatos and your neighbors will probably start running in fear of having more tomatos brought to them by you.

    That is the way my FIL’s neighbors are, they fear the sight of him come August.

      I know it comes as a shock [not]… I’d forget about them if they stopped blaring music with the windows wide open…

      I tried for SO many years, with no results. For some reason this year I got lucky. And trust me, it really is pure luck…

    Sure, the tomatoes are small, but look at that perfect shape!!! Wow! It makes me want my tomato seedlings to “hurry up and grow, already!!!” Ha ha! These shots are all so lovely. I’m so glad I ended up here during my wandering through the web. :)
