Bounty Hunter

The anticipation just awaiting the first arrivals of our labor has finally paid off. I'd almost lost all hope on the Roma and cherry tomatoes. Although I've been told that these babies probably will not ripen because we just haven't had enough hot weather, WHO CARES!! Fried green tomatoes anyone?












Trying to locate these little guys was like hunting for easter eggs. Upon finding one, I reacted just like a kid hunting for easter eggs. Jumping up and down and running back and forth between garden and husband at computer, who's game was interrupted and put on pause so we could revel in our find.

With a slew of Martha Stewart summer salad recipes to try, our meals will be Bug's Bunny's envy. And who knows, he may just end up on the plate too.

I was going to write a story about Giuseppe Greenthumb but now all I want to do is go outside and admire my tomatoes. They are at the stage as yours so have hope! If August can continue on like so, and a little bit into September, you should be able to harvest some ripe ones. To help encourage them along, we also placed our tomatoes (the potted ones) in the sunniest part of the yard where the morning sunlight bounces of the white walls and onto the plants.

I love your garden...you have lettuce and peas!!!!! I've been drowning in zucchini but that's about it. My consolation is the lemon icecream/gelato that I just did with a spoonful of limoncello. Oh man!!! It is so good, you just gotta try it again. This will be one of our favorites from now on, thanks to you guys. ^-^
