What an amazing day

This morning, I passed by the tomato box and saw that the big one was ready to pick and I knew exactly where it would be going, to someone who would really appreciate its size. She's the most adorable little farm lady I know and love. Her name is Donna, and yes, she's my dear sweetheart of a mother-in-law. I absolutely love her! She instantly posed after apologizing for the pins in her hair. What a lady!

My babies!

Mom is not having a good year for tomatoes and she gets a kick out of what I've been able to grow in my raised bed. As promised to her, Here's a picture of my Mortgage Lifter Heirloom tomatoes. They have a nice mellow taste and get rather large. The on on the bottom is actually larger than my hand, but I couldn't get the camera in there at the right angle without fear of knocking some of my babies off. I'm protective too. Daily I check for pests. I can't believe inside the city limits, I've found 3 huge horn worms! Little suckers! They met the bottom of my shoe rather quickly!
