The Tomato Wars Have Begun

Spring has sprung, April showers have brought May flowers, the grass is growing and green and the Tomato Wars are in full swing.

The neighbor ... expanded his delectable garden to 800 square feet this year, oh I'm so jealous.  We watch and when his spade hits the dirt we run for our tomato plants.  Each year now for the past several the word exchange takes place almost daily as to who will have the better tomatoes.  The war, now part of the season, part of the neighborship that exists.  Truth be told, there's never a winner, there's really never a competition, just plain old fun.  There's always a wave, a neighborly chat and the sharing of wonderful home grown vegetables throughout the summer months. 












What's new in your neighborhood?

  3. I'm not a tomato fan. I like them cooked, and I can eat them in small pieces in salad and in slices on a burger but to just eat them like they are is not me. I know...I'm weird like that. xoxox

  6. Love summer tomatoes, sweet and warm right off the vine. Pretty picture, we don't get much sun in our yard otherwise I'd love a little vegetable garden. Hope your week is going well.

  7. Oh Summer's fruit, the wonderful tomato! We've got little green ones on one plant that we started early in the greenhouse. It's a patio tomato and the tomatoes probably won't make it to the kitchen before they get eaten! Woo Hoo!
