la rouge tomate!


Finally! What we've all been waiting for, what we've all been watching for... every day-especially Jenna!!!!! A red tomato!!!!!! It is sad that this is such a big event for us. We really envy people with gardens. We wish we had a garden and not just a few planters of tomatoes but that is life. Usually I grow herbs too but not this year. Just tomatoes. Luckily my parents and my brother have wonderful gardens. My brother's is a "family" garden. If we do our part to contribute to it's care, we can partake of the harvest. So far we have enjoyed fresh picked lettuce from his garden and beets from my parents. But to step out in your own yard and grab a few zucchinis or cucumbers...I could live off of fresh garden produce! I did growing up and that's why I long to have one of my own. Not a big one. Just enough so that I don't have to can!!!! Maybe someday....we'll just dream until then!

Awesome! My tomatoes are doing horribly. I guess part of me doesn't care since I have been forbidden to eat them due to my allergy. I just have always ignored it, but I can't anymore. I have to stay away. Why do I have to love them so much? Sigh...
