In the spring I try to plant at least a couple tomato plants. This year I grew one plant with cherry or salad tomatoes and one with Early Girls. Not much better than sliced tomato fresh off the vine with a little sea salt.
I used to grow a larger garden and even did some canning but over the past 15 years the two silver maple trees in the back yard have grown so big that they block out the sun for most of the day. A flower bed on the south side of the garage provides just enough space for a few plants and receives sun for most of the day.
Very nice! I love tomatoes. I prefer them on toasted bread with a little olive oil, cracked pepper and sea salt. So tasty! Oh, and as for those tall Silver Maples; you need to make syrup this fall!
ReplyDeleteSounds good! sometimes I cube them up throw em in a bowl with a little Italian dressing. Yum!
ReplyDeleteWe used to grow tomatoes when I lived in Denver, Colorado. They were good. They were big. I myself also would grow pumpkins. The would grow especially big right next to the house in a corner of just plan old dirt.
ReplyDeleteI used to have a garden and your picture sure does make me long for a garden again. Nice Picture!!
ReplyDeleteThanks guys. Gardens are alot like antenna farms. Any is better than none, but I always wish I had more space. I like to be outside in the summer so not a big deal to throw some water on them every few days.
