July 8th - Bountiful Harvest

After 3 1/2 long months, my vines have outgrown the 11 foot frame.

When I first started this blog at my daughter's suggestion I realized I was putting a lot of pressure on myself for this year's crop to produce. My wife, after reading several early blogs asked, "What are you going to do if you have a crop failure?" As a result of this question I have worked extremely hard as to not be embaressed by all the sage advice I have been giving others about growing tomatoes.

Thank goodness my crop is about the best one I have ever had.

July 8 Harvest

In honor of William Webster Playford's first birthday today, his mother and I harvested a fine basket of delta tomatoes.
