Dismal crop

Remember how excited I was in June when I bought my tomato plants and got them potted?

I had such high hopes for them as I watched them grow ...

Out of eight plants, I ended up with just five cherry tomatoes. Very disappointing!

My next door neighbour has just one tomato plant and she had lots of tomatoes. She even spent a month in Japan visiting her family and still did better than me!

I have one plant left with a tomato ... I'm not giving up on it! Here it is today.

We've had a couple nights of frost ... that is one tough tomato!

  4. You did better than me with the plants. I had none! However, I have a friend that gave me plenty of tomatoes this year and I will say....I'm learning to like tomatoes. :) They are much better tasting from the garden then the store.

    Thanks for visiting my blog today. Come back anytime. :)

  7. You can probably take him in now and let him ripen on the counter, away from that frost!
