Oh Tomato, I Hardly Knew Ye!

Happy Monday Pupsters -

Just back from another great weekend in the White Mountains! Fresh air, cool rivers, and one slight minor calamity....

We all know that Mom has been hard at work using her green thumbs planting, watering, fertilizing, and loving a plethora of garden items. However, it has been the tomato plants, grown in large terracotta pots, that have been her pride and joy of Summer 2008.

On Saturday, Dad was moving things around the patio, trying to get everything a bit more sunlight. Unbeknowst to him, a couple of the HEAVY STEAMS of the cherry tomato plants COLLAPSED. Dad had no idea about this till Mom (aka Mrs. GreenThumbs) shrieked in HORROR! Oh No! My Dad was a now tomato KILLER!

After some minor surgery and the removal of some green tomatoes, we are all optimistic that the cherry tomato plant may live. The other tomato plant continues to grow like crazy and we are just a few weeks away from enjoying our our salmonella free jalapenos. We brought the orphaned cherry tomatoes home and have placed them on the window sill in hopes that they might turn red!

Once the code black crisis was over, we all enjoyed a pup weekend. You know the drill -pup walks, golf for mom and dad, chicken kabobs on the grill, Mom's famous smores made on the fire pit! Got to love summer!

Hope everyone has a great week!

PTTPs!
