Lucky Midge, living with someone who knows her fancies so well! ๐ Our border collie used to fancy the lower raspberries on the canes, lay quite happily in the sun with a couple of ripe ones inside her โ๏ธ
Good morning Mr.D and you've done it again,haven't you? You've started my day off with a laugh and I also feel I might just persuade my son to go to our local garden centre and grow my own tomatoes,just like you! A double whammy !!!
100% Mr.D. classic to add to the others that have reached such high standards! Keep 'em coming !!!
Well master Po it would appear that Midge likes her tomatoes off the bone and i bet she feeds them for free,please select your lunch from the upper branches. x
Daughter in law next door has grown tomatoes, up to the roof of the greenhouse, also keeping me in fresh beetroots and the runner beans are coming along nicely, about six inches long now!
Well done Don, is there anything you can't put to rhyme!
Great rhyme today Don, think we all love home grown tomatoes. Am here in Cardiff for a long weekend with my little family, and the restaurant we went to last night had a tiny cup of tomato water as part of the starter, it was divine, just no taste like homegrown x
Ooh Izb1 a tiny cup of tomato water as part of your starter is a new one for me.( not that I go out much to restaurants anymore,lol). Was it full of taste or just a little too watery? I'm curious to know more about this new starter on a menu.
I think it was a compliment to the starter and being cheeky I did ask how they made it, the girl said it was just chopped tomatoes from the greenhouse and hung up in muslim to filter, it tasted fab but it could have been the type of tomatoes as they had a herby taste which could have been the vine. I will certainly be trying this out x
They must have added something or it would have been bland, even fresh tomato needs at least a pinch of salt. Probably some secret herbs they didn't want to tell you about. ๐
I love the smell of home grown, my grandpa grew them. The Yorkie I looked after had a passion for bananas, would do anything for them, did not like toms.
Mmm reminds me of my grandadโs greenhouse, that lovely smell.
Well done, Don, you really are a man of many talents!
Rhyming fingers and green fingers!
I used to grow tomatoes but that's another thing I've stopped doing. I'm now thinking I should start again. You've inspired me.
As for your tomato eating Midge that's a new one to me. Never heard of a dog eating tomatoes though I once had a Siamese cat who liked cooked garden peas!
I love Plum Tomatoes, which I'm trying to grow. Talking about Doggies and Food, All my Dogs past and present always want to eat what I have, ! Normal! My Previous little Pooch (Spanish Dog) Loved Olives (Anchoa's) as I do, Now my Princess loves them too. xxx
I haven't had dogs for years. Too much of a softie thinking about the rainbow bridge. You have reminded me though of my fabulous cat. He once tried to climb into the oven with a roasting chicken. There I am, both hands full with a tray full of roasties and trying to dissuade the cat with my foot! Spuds went everywhere, I had to really pull him out! Happy days
They look lovely. Mine are pretty sad in comparison. Perhaps I over fuss. Have had bumper strawberries this year and raspberries too so well compensated.
I thinks it has been a good year for strawberries, my nephew's are the same a real bumper crop. My small orange tomatoes have done really well keeping us supplied for over a week now, but the bigger ones just will not ripen.
That's good news, some hope for mine then. I have put some netting over the toms. We have sparrows and pigeons nesting close by. I have a feeling they are helping themselves to the tiny toms! Have a lovelt Summer, makes it all worth it doesn't it
