16 August 2007

We've had some pretty gusty winds here in Austin these last couple of days and some of the tomato plants have doubled over on themselves. They are so tall that I can't reach up to secure them without a ladder which I have to borrow... I guess I'll be borrowing that from you Elizabeth. Or, Marianne.


That's right tomato friends... that's another red tomato you see peeking through the mighty foliage. I didn't do "color enhance" either. It's really that pretty!

What a great tomato farmer am I!


I thought you might also enjoy a shot of these Cardinal's Caps. Around here we call them Cotton Mallow. I don't know what they really are. I pulled them up from around Town Lake several years ago because I thought they were pretty. They are still growing too!

I hope your own gardens are growing the way you want them to.

Love,

HLindy

Lindy, dearest;

Yes, that is a very red tomato, and so coy, too. I bet it still gets picked, even though it's trying to be all inconspicuous back there. Do you plan to slice it or quarter it for a salad, or is it going to end up in the marinara like the other one?

I sliced it into eight pieces and ate it with a little salt and pepper. I am pretty impressed with what good tomatoes I grow.

Hi Lindy
I am Frasiers mom and stopped by to look at your blog and am impressed by those tomatoes !

Came by to see the new one but i guess you have not posted pics yet

Lindy said...

Sorry Frasypoo... I am, frankly, a little bored with The Tomato Blog. But, I could never let you down, not with those eyes and those delicate little ears thrown back. You are gorgeous. I'll post soon. I promise.

Mmm
Nothing better than a fresh tomato sliced and sprinkled with coarse ground black pepper on a piece of pumpernickle spread with cream cheese!

My mouth waters at the sight of your blissful tomatoes. The Hebrew word for 'tomato' is agvaniya, from the verb 'to blush'. Ancient Hebrew did not have a word for tomatoes, so a word had to be coined.
