Tomatoes……just the word makes me crave a yummy sandwich loaded with these tasty treats! For the first time this year I decided to try my hand at growing some tomatoes. I had my doubts, but after watching my parents and grandparents successfully grow them for years, I decided I could do it. Well, after many weeks of not thinking I would have any good ones, we have just eaten our first one! I can’t believe how good it was, very acidic, just the way I love them! Brady loves them too, he ate a few slices by themselves and I had mine on a sandwich (my favorite). I am so happy that I am getting so many good ones off the vines considering a few weeks ago they werent looking too good. I am already looking forward to next spring, I am going to plant several, not just one like I did this year. I have picked 4 already, and they are ripening up nicely, and I have several more going to come off within the next week, then another bunch shortly after. I am so proud of them and it is so cool to be able to eat your own home grown fruits and veggies. I will also be planting chives, cilantro and maybe some other things next year. If any of you out there have ever considered backyard container gardening, give it a try, it’s so worth it!
