I can usually kill a plant within a matter of days. I just don’t “get” plants. I get dogs and kids, because they whine or cry when they’re hungry, or thirsty, or sick. Plants just…wilt. Or turn brown. They don’t talk to me to let me know why they’re not thriving!
That’s why I’m amazed that our plants ARE thriving. Everything we planted a few months ago when we did our landscape curbing is alive and doing well. Especially Gracie’s tomato plant! (It’s technically hers, but I seem to be the one watering it these days.) It went from having two teeny tiny little green tomatoes (it always bother me that the plural of tomato has an “E” added to it) to having blooms and more tomatoes all over it!
Here’s the whole plant:

A ton of greenies (it’s a bit like playing Where’s Waldo!):
You couldn’t find them? Try this:
At this rate, we’ll have fresh tomatoes all summer long. Good thing we all love salad! In fact, cucumber and tomato salad is one of my quick summer favorites. Just slice up some cucumbers and tomatoes and toss with Italian dressing, sprinkle on a bit of oregano and basil, and you can even top it with feta or bleu cheese crumbles.

I love this last picture!!! I think I missed a few of them.
Sweet! I LOVE tomatoes! We have 2 plants in our garden this year, no fruit yet though. My husband plante peas.. and they are almost ready to eat! I can’t grow anything worth beans. I tried 4 different kinds of seads in pots this spring, and nothing. I don’t know kids either, but I do know dogs!
