How are the Tomatoes? Glad you asked.



Plants and Baby Video Here

Hopefully you paid close attention in the above video to second 0:55 to about 1:05.
Sometimes people ask me what happened to Becca's tomatoes that she planted about three months ago. One might think she has a full vine of red, plump, delicious tomatoes. That she has so much she's actually making bottles of ketchup in addition to salads. That she's frequenting the farmers market where wild groups of tomoatoe enthusiasts form lines to buy what's become known simply as "Becca's Tomatoes."

One would be wrong.

Becca watered them once. Got bit by a spider. Came back inside. Never went back outside. Tomatoes died about a week later.

We still joke about it. I ask, "Becca, could you please go out and pick some of those tomatoes? They are overtaking the garden. There are too many. Please, you have to control your tomatoes."

She usually then asks me, "How's your cilantro?"

That usually shuts me up.

  1. Does that mean you tried to grow cilantro but failed, or you dislike that vile weed?

  2. He's wrong, I ask about his morning glory. All four of them, which failed just as quick as my tomatoes did. And lance do you blame me? You saw what happened when that spider but me!! No one can argue with this: I grow beautiful babies.
