You can tell I'm excited. I just came in from seeing my tomatoes perform as angels. I am finally seeing lots of tomatoes coming forth. I don't even know the kinds of all of them, but got lots of heirlooms and the massive ones too. i don't go for too many tiny kinds of producers. I go for LARGE to the MAX! Several pounders for each tomato too they are producing. I am so excited and may end up surprising my daughter with some large green ones to her in TX. Probably by the time they arrive they will be almost ripened. I can ship, but not disclose, with those special boxes that are set price up to 70 pounds through usps. I have cukes too, but squash didn't do anything and that's about all I planted, but for sure lots of tomatoes by the tons.

I started several from seeds, but bought tons from Home Depot and Lowes. My investment was large and not counting the $ either. However, I'm super excited.

The ones in garden doing fabulous but also earthbox one is producing, but nothing like the abundance seen at the moment from the ground ones.

I just got new computer, so software for camera not hooked up yet. Hoping I can take some pictures to share, but not yet.

Just had to share.

This Vegan and Spicy,

They are yellow large tomatoes we are talking about. Super soft and meaty plus delish. I told my daughter and 3 year old grandbaby heard I have a surprise for her from my garden. She lives in TX and she said from there: tomatoes. I'm going to see about sending a few biggies in the $8.95ish box usps as I think they may be that much and priority too. I'll check on pricing.

Also have some fresh dehydrated peaches that finally finished with some banana/peach fruit leather to go there too. She's really into fresh salads, smoothies, fruits/veggies, but my daughter is not always good at reading labels so grandbaby gets bad stuff too. Her father is a total junkie however so not much help when he babysits for short time.

Thanks for nice replies.

Off to dentist where I am a regular patient unfortunately. Crown was loose two days ago, went in, yesterday loose and back now on the road to visit him. Eating healthy didn't save my teeth but aging gracefully still. My teeth were just part of my DNA even if I ate badly. Dentist, believe it or not, is not excited to always see me. He is great dentist and the first gem in tons of years. I would have more teeth if I knew of him way back. At least still some, but lots of crowns out of choice sadly or gladly.
