I just picked my 1st homegrown tomato of the season. It's going in a salad with my homegrown lettuce!

Careful! It might be contaminated with salmonella!

Careful! It might be contaminated with salmonella! That's just another reason to grow them yourself!

I love homegrown tomatoes, and since living in an apt now, don't have a place to grow them I live in a trailer park with clay fill dirt like concrete! I make compost, buy bags of topsoil & get cow manure from a friend. I have tomatoes in 5 gallon buckets & lettuce in old tubs from the local cheese factory (they throw them out with cracked bottoms, but this is perfect for drainage). I also have herbs in a large pot. Cilantro, rosemary, thyme & oregano. I also have basil growing with the tomatoes. I am determined to at least have fresh salads in the summer. I also like to make pizza with fresh tomtoes & herbs.

HaaaaaaaY! NO NO ! My dog, who is usually a good little dog, had her paws up on the counter sniffing my tomato! That's quite a stretch for a rat terrier. She looked like a slinky dog!

You got it going on girl! i've had four so far, two of them came from the variety "amelia" which is supposed to be resistant to verticulum wilt, and brown spot, they're are a bit pulpy, but delicious off the vine. I also have better boys, and they seem to be thriving. About the big tomato scare, it was because of tomatoes grown in mexico, and irrigated with human waste water.

Love fresh grown veges. I did not plant this year

I didn't get to plant as much as i wanted to, My tiller broke down, and i just haven't had time to fix it. But i do have Squash, Cantaloupes, Watermelons, Tomato's Bell peppers, and cayenne peppers growing. Also radishes, but it gets hot here and i was late, so doubt the lettuce will make.

That is so clever, LittleRedHen. I had lettuce and cucumber (13" long) for dinner tonite. And I grew them. I am growing my first veggie garden ever this year. I don't know what I'm doing. I have too much in too small of an area. My tomatoes might have blight. I see some small green ones. I have two cherry tomato plants and 4 regular tomato plants.
