Time for a harvest!

I have been so busy lately and have not been very faithful about updating this blog. I have more than a few irons in the fire. I have been getting my rooms (yep, that's right I have two rooms this year due to the number of Preschoolers) ready. Seems like I just walked out of my room last May and now I am ready to go back. I am also obsessively addicted to Farmtown on Facebook. I am so busy harvesting, plowing, planting, and working on my farm. Who knew farming was such a time consuming business. And finally, I am working on publishing one of my blogs to a hardcover book. It is not this blog, but rather another blog that I keep for Tizita so she can have a book of memories of our first year as granddaughter and grandma. I have to edit it and get it all set up page by page and then it will be published. Now if only someone would purchase my books! So between all these projects there is little spare time to blog but today I have something worth sharing.
I harvested my own real crops today as opposed to the ones on my FB farm! These are the three cherry tomatoes I harvested. I am going to use them on a salad. Actually I did harvest another one but ate it right away and it was tasty. There is nothing like home grown tomatoes.
Here is the plant they came from. There are three more tomatoes ripening on there as I type. I have already doubled my goods from last year. And this is my topsy turvy planter. It also has a few green tomatoes on it, but it didn't really work as well as it sounded like it would on the infomercial. Will I ever learn? Just like all the exercise equipment I order which promises I will lose weight, but that is another story...
Anyway in conclusion, I am definitely a better farmer online than I am in real life, Oh well, it is what it is!

Your tomatoes are doing much better than ours are. We have a ton of tomatoes, and about 5 are yellow or orange right now, so we have hope for them (not that I will eat them, anyway).

I wanted a topsy turvey so bad when I saw it. I just never got off my rump to buy one and plant the tomato plant... Congrats on the tomatoes, they look tasty!

They are not all they are cracked up to be, Kim!
