Sweet Tomatoes!

There are few things that taste better to me than a homegrown tomato. I am one of those people that can eat it just like an apple (but prefer it cut, so that I can be a little naughty and add salt to it). I bought these new contraptions at Sam's that hang the plants upside down, so that you don't deal with the pain of weeding and tying the darn things up on a stake so that the plant doesn't hang on the ground. We have had quite a bit of luck and think that they were well worth the fifty bucks I paid for them.

The girls helped Todd plant the 6 tomato bushes...and he even threw in a couple of flowers, green beans and strawberries. They go outside everyday and water them and take turns picking the tomatoes right off the vine. I am the only one who actually likes to eat them...Todd and the girls do NOT care for them a bit, but they have all had fun working on them and watching them grow.

This is back when we first planted in April

Kaytlynn and our 5 color pepper plant. The peppers go from this beautiful deep purple to a light cream color, then to bright yellow, bright orange, and then a fiery red!

The first tomato that Kaytlynn has ever picked...
Delaney's first tomato and also the first one picked at our house this season!
