Ok, so nobody calls them Toe-MA-toes. But some do think its a vegetable. No matter what you may say about these little red goodies there is one thing for certain. There is nothing like vine ripe tomatoes. I grew up eating tomato sandwiches that my ‘Gran’ would make in North Carolina. Fresh white bread, some Duke’s Mayonnaise, and a couple thick slices of vine ripe heaven.
This past weekend Christine and I decided it was time to start planting. In one of the pictures you can notice the rows and how they are elevated. We have no idea if that is what you’re suppose to do but the same people that told me the worms were good to have I think told me to do that as well. Can’t remember. Hope you enjoy the pics and as more things happen you’ll see new stuff.
One thing that hit me square in the face as I was looking at The Plot after we sowed seeds was this. If these plants do not give me great tomatoes I’m going to be pissed. Seriously, I’m going to be livid. We got the tray, then we added the seeds and did the whole greenhouse thing. Then we plowed, and turned the soil, and tossed and turned that soil. I think about all the things that went into getting just those seedlings into the ground and if they don’t give me tomatoes then they are useless. Oh I will be so flippin mad!
That’s when I realized that I don’t think we “get” some of the things Jesus said. Its just tough when we live in a world of computers, offices, and 401Ks. Here are some of those words that don’t mean the same anymore…
“Likewise every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them.”
