This year Kirby started his tomatoes from seed and now they are almost ready to harvest. He brought in a small "Early Girl" yesterday. Let summer begin!
That turquoise bucket has a hole down near the bottom that you probably can't see - and a tomato plant comes out of it. It was an experiment and it is working. That plant is loaded also. And see that white box in the background, next to the AC? - well that is the pump for the well that Kirby put in. Now we have the greenest lawn on the block and the water is free. Having a well here is pretty easy as the water table is so low. Quite the farmer, eh? Tomato plants from seed and well water! And all organic! Yea!
This picture was taken BEFORE the Early Girl came in the house.

And, did I tell you that he started basil from seed also? We eat basil salad all the time now!! That is the grape tomato behind the basil.
Two of my favorite things - tomatoes and basil. Add a little fresh mozzarella and I can be happy almost all summer. Yum!
