I've always loved tomatoes,
Since I sat on Grandad's knee.
The photo shows his greenhouse
With my sister next to me.
I've never been a gardener,
Though I like to see it neat
But when it comes to tommies,
I grow the best ones in the street.
It really makes no sense now,
Cos there's only Midge and me
There's far more toms than we can eat
As you can plainly see.
So I give them to my neighbours,
Who watch out for me all year.
Which gives me lots of pleasure,
And generates good cheer.
That's great Don 
I am growing Tommies too 
Love your photo ,and I love tomatoes xx
Look lovely Toms Don love the photo x
I'll bring you some toms when you have that weekend away in your caravan. 
So lovely, those words.
So you were a posh kid after all,your grandad's greenhouse looks bigger than our family home was and tomatoes were a luxury in the slums of london(queue violin in background)xxx........skis
😭😢🙄
Great. Chutney? Home-made ketchup? Soup? Sauce? For the freezer?
My blood won't flow so good in my legs,
Just a few drops, dribbles and dregs,
My feet in winter get so awfully cold,
reason for loss of feeling, so I am told,
chillblains flare-up to add to my woes,
Oh, how I wish for toma-toes.
Your toms look great and love the pic of you and your sister.... bet you have a lot of happy childhood memories.
I lived in a house with cobbled streets and back entry's .... not saying I didn't have lots of happy memories... just no grass , trees, or greenhouse !!! till I was 11 then we moved , had a front and back garden 😀 Loved it lol 😄 Xxx
Another good one Don My father was a gardener and grew wonderful tomatoes. I would visit him at work and nick loads of them to eat. One day I had 14! Brought back some lovely memories thank you.
Great poem, Don and great sentiment! How nice to be able to give something back to your neighbours. xMoy
Good Morning Don. Thank you for sharing the memories of a 'softer' time, You just made my Sunday. Large hug for Midge & yourself. Winterhill.
I love them myself but can't seem to grow a thing I even bought a house once that had a ton of windows that was a big mistake. Everything died. Very quickly!
