Growing on the fringes of the compost pile were several Tomato plants.
One was a Roma and the other was a Beefsteak.
They were beautiful and showed no signs of caterpillar damage.....which
is more than I can say for my deliberately grown and cultured tomatoes.

By the time you see these pics, I will have lightly salted these
beauties and eaten them........Yummmmmmm!
BTW, don't bother trying one of those Topsy Turvy tomato planters.
They don't work well at all and are WAAAAYYYYY more trouble than they
are worth.

Nice looking.

I'm trying the topsy turvy tomato thing. The problem I have with
tomatoes in the ground is my Bermuda Grass gets all through them and I
can't sort it out.

I wasn't getting any fruit set with just one tomato [plant, since I
added a second I am seeing a good number of new tomatoes. Nothing
compared to what real gardeners get, but a few anyway.
