I hope this doesn't make you too jealous

We have some monstrous tomato plants growing in our garden right now. With the current state of affairs with tomatoes right now, I'm loving that we planted four tomato plants in late Febrary. The only different thing we did this year is put a banana peel under the plants when we originally planted them. I think next year we are going to spread them out. It is seriously a jungle to fish out the ripened ones. They have been ripening very consistently for the last three weeks, just enough each day to satisfy my salad cravings and Jared's desire to pop them in his mouth. Jared's fav is the cherry tomatoes. I don't have a favorite, they all taste wonderful. We only planted two kinds, cherry and grape but we seem to have ended up with another type, I think it is a roma or plum. It is slightly larger than the grape variety.





We also planted some pepper plants, these should ripen into red bells. I seriously can't wait, those are my favorite.



A super cute picture of Elijah the elephant will be coming tomorrow,he is still needing some eyes and one more ear.

They're beautiful! You're lucky I don't love tomatoes or I'd be begging for some like Eileen.
