One smart tomato.
We are having a bumper tomato crop this year and are keeping busy BWB
canning them. We do get some misshapen tomatoes in the bunch but we got one really brainy one this morning. http://tinypic.com/r/20f37k/9 Ross. Southern Ontario, Canada |

Happy birthday to you anyway. Ross. Southern Ontario, Canada Damn, I can't ever win contests. If I live to 82 that will be a totally new family male age. Most of our women live to 88 to 89, MIL lived to 100 + 8 months, her cousin lived to 101+ but all those women were coddled all their lives. We hearty men just manage to get along. G I do find that a couple of naps a day keep me and the little dog happy. Just got up from one and feel the urge for another. Alas, I have to start cooking for the women around 1700 hours or they may get angry. It's cloudy and 102F on the back porch, I am hoping for a nice rain but not a hurricane rain. I am amazed at the Gypsy pepper in the long bed, we planted it in the spring of 2015 and it is still producing peppers on a regular basis.
