" Ok, I'm ready for my close-up, Mr. DeMille. " - Gloria Swanson.
April 10, 2012 has a big circle around it on the calendar -the emergence of my first tomato of the season. Visions of fried green tomatoes danced in my head, and the tune of Home Grown Tomatoes on my lips.
'Better Boy ' has come through a few nippy nights and time spent in an unheated garage. He now has brothers and sisters vying for my attention. A mother's work is never done and days of mid-80's and direct sun demands more watering for my containers and unexpectedly cold nights mean that I must move it to the unheated garage.
The neighbors haven't planted their tomatoes in the ground yet, waiting for that last, sure to come frost, but I just couldn't wait and so my portable tomato is way ahead of the rest .
