A Tomato Worth Talking To

Here is our first big RED Tomato. There are a few more on the plant, but we had to celebrate the first one. And it was yummy too!

Tomates Good Enough to Eat

Here's my parsley, round 2... its growing the 2nd amount after having chopped it down.

And those tiny little tomato plants, we just put the bigger cages on them. Note to self, the tiny little plants grow HUGE, and its easier to put the bigger cages on before hand. They are still recovering from being squished to fit the cage on top of it.

(on the right you can see some of the tomatoes are red, we've even enjoyed a few)

And the big tomatoes are FINALLY turning red.

Its been fun to come home and check on them each day!

If You Like to Talk to Tomatoes

Well, for those of you who don't know, our backyard is a tad on the small side. It works well for us, because it's just the two of us and we don't have time to do yard work. So here's a view of what our yard has looked like for the last year or more.


We both grew up with fresh tomatoes from a home garden. Now, I NEVER have had a green thumb, and NEVER have I seriously tried to grow anything. But fresh tomatoes just sounded SO good. So, after more than a year of work, putting in a drip system, mixing the terrible desert dirt, building up the dirt to hide the footer of our back wall, getting manuer for Christmas (thanks mom!), we have finally finished our garden! Check it out!
And we even made a walkway to the garden. (so we don't have to put shoes on!)


We planted 4 tomato plants (I wasn't kidding about tomatoes), 1 strawberry plant, 1 parsley plant, and we hope the 2 lilies we planted last year might come back (because we replanted the bulbs).

I'm just excited it looks like our yard has something to it.
