Tomatoes, they are everywhere....

[aquaman]

My garden is going crazy. I had planted tomatoes and they are everywhere. I eat them for breakfast, lunch, and dinner as well as snacks. I am not sick of them. It's kinda funny that I have a totally organic garden and people told me to use this pesticide or that pesticide, otherwise my garden would be shit. Well I say to them, fuck you, most of my tomato plants are taller than I am.

1. I had the same experience, and the only thing I used to keep bugs away

were marigolds planted between the tomato plants.

4. are they tomaytoes or tomahtoes?

Obviously my home state there is very fertile, but it sure seems early to be harvesting. You must be warmer than Kansas.

6. I'm in SC

Humid and hot, perfect growing environment, too bad I don't smoke weed anymore.

5. Someone stole ours...

Seriously, my GF and I are in "temporary" quarters but she so missed her garden that she put a pot on the front porch of our duplex to grow some tomatoes. Her favorite quote is "Its like eating sunshine"...anyway... they were ready to pick... red, ripe, and lucious.... when she came home from work (intending to pick them for a dinner salad) they were all gone. :(

You would have thought somebody died around here.

8. did you know...?

...tomatoes were thought to be poisonous when introduced to English society? The Ruling Class at the time preferred to eat from pewter plates, and the acids in tomatoes caused the lead in the pewter to break down and be absorbed into the food. People literally died from lead poisoning due to eating tomatoes, and that's why they were known as "The Devil's Fruit" until around 1820, when a Brithish politician with a financial interest in tomato importation ate a whole bushel at one sitting, to prove they were harmless.

9. How fortunate you are. Send me some.

Nothing beats homegrown tomatoes. The ones in the store taste like cardboard, in comparison. My friend grows them, but her plants were destroyed during our recent storms. I was looking forward to the opening of our local farm stand, where they have great vegetables, but it looks like they're building something there and it's not going to happen. I will miss real tomatoes, especially.
