I love homegrown tomatoes. Having a brown thumb, I could never grow tomatoes, so I use to steal them from the late John Harrison. Some of you may have read about my tomato stealing exploit.
This Spring I received a plant catalog- full of flowers, trees, fruit and vegetable plants and seeds.
After all these years I thought I would try again. I ordered a few plants, some planting soil and planters and decided to become Mr. Tomato Farmer.
The plants took root, and grew quite rapidly. I was rather proud of myself.
On June 29th, El Derecho swept through the area- you remember the big storm, Finnmark was without power for a few days.
My plants were blown over and I thought ruined, but I restaked them and they grew to more than six feet tall. Wow- maybe I have grown a green thumb. Well maybe not.
