Starting To Get Tomatoes!


I'm so excited!  I checked on the garden and saw 3 little tomatoes starting to grow on the plants.  I can't wait until they are ready to eat!  There's nothing like a fresh, home-grown tomato.  It makes the store-bought tomatoes taste like soggy cardboard.  

I am growing three types of tomatoes this year: beefsteak, cherry and a purple tomato.  I've never grown purple tomatoes before.  It will be interesting to see how they taste.

I Had To Make A Garden Fence Because Of The Chipmunks

We had to put a small fence around the garden.  A chipmunk got in and ate half the broccoli and lettuce plants.  We used the mesh that protects the trees to make the fence.  It is only about 1 1/2 feet tall, but this fence has made a huge difference!  


We still have 3 broccoli plants left.  One is starting grow broccoli!
