My Tomatoes - A Real City Girl

I think I am back on the correct page. This is going to be short because I need to see if my screen is back where it should be.

I had a real embarrassing moment two days ago. I was really puzzled why my tomatoes were so small when I had done everything according to the book that came with my earth box. My sister said just wait, they will grow. Be patient! I was complaining, just a little, to my friend wondering why there were no giant size tomatoes. Of course he was a country boy and I was more of a city slicker, you know, real gullible. We looked over my vines that had endured an attack by monster tomato worms. But the vines are really growing fast and there are some giant tomatoes that are nicely getting red. But why are some of them so small.

He then asked me how many tomato plants I had planted in the earth box. I stated three, one large tomato plant and two cherry tomato plants. All of a sudden the light bulb went off in my head.. I had been picking the cherry tomatoes without realizing it. They are so big I thought they were just small big boy. Duh and double duh. I am sure I will get teased about that goof up for a long time. Just imagine how big the big boy tomatoes will get. I looked this morning and I would say in about two days the wonderful, giant size, beautiful tomatoes will be ready to pick. I am on the way out to buy some fresh bread and bacon for my first bacon and tomato sandwich. Tune in later.
