I'm probably behind in getting my tomato plants in the ground. I just haven't gotten the job done, but I've made progress. I went to the store and bought a four pack yesterday and I'm meditating on getting started.
While at the store picking through the plants, I ran into someone who was telling me that his relative lost all his garden in the hail storm we had a couple of nights ago. I'm sorry I didn't post yesterday, but I couldn't bear to tell you that I'd spent yet more time in the closet as yet another tornado warning had been issued for our fair community. Thankfully, we were spared any damage. I did hear reports of hail. The storm had produced golf to tennis ball size hail. I'm sure that was what took the man's garden. I certainly said a few prayer requests on that one.
After getting my tomato plants home and thinking about another storm that is suppose to be around today... possibly... I decided to do myself a favor and wait until tomorrow to put these little dears into the good earth. I did water them a bit and will give them another drink before evening.
I do love home grown tomatoes!! It amazes me how large the plants get when they take off and really start producing. I had so many a couple of years ago that I dehydrated a ton of them and also had lots of fried green tomatoes. Those were yummy! I picked the last of them before the first hard frost of fall and wrapped them in newspaper. I'd put a few out to ripen, and I had nice fresh tomatoes through Thanksgiving.
I'm going to save this picture and take another one when the plants are taking over the yard. Then I can show both, and you may be amazed.
