Although I admit my thumb isn't exactly green, I do, however, have an interest in growing things ( all I can seem to grow is mold in the refrigerator). Faith is an avid eater of tomatoes, I give her at least one a day, so when I decided to try my hand at growing food in the backyard I decided tomatoes would be my guinea pig. Much to my surprise they actually grew! Out of 7 plants I only had one casualty ( it's on life support now, I give it a 50/50 chance of survival. I hope it's an organ donor). It took a few months to start seeing results, and for awhile there I really thought that my curse of a black thumb would doom these poor plants to death, but somehow I had 6 plants survive, and the result is a cornucopia of cherry, roma, beefsteak and early girl tomatoes. Faith and I couldn't be happier. Once the tomatoes reached their peak I would take Faith out every morning, she would say, " let's go pick my lunch tomato", and off we would go to go find the perfect tomato of the day. I am so proud of myself, I plan on growing more next season. I think I may even take a stab at growing a pumpkin or some cukes.
