Jackie - I agree that the small, yellow tomato flowers do look very delicate. It always amazes me that these are the forerunners of tomatoes of every description.

Jared - Blooms, especially new blooms, do hold so much promise for what they will become.

Mark - My garden is like Fort Knox! Only the smallest creatures get through the three physical barriers. If you click the image, you can actually read my post on these critters!

Carol - I do believe this is either a Better Boy, Celebrity, or Early Girl!

Debi - Me too! The little grape ones as snacks, the romas for sauce, etc.

Barbara - Eaten like an apple, peach, or pear right off the vine! I don't use chemicals of any sort so none of that to worry about.

Carole - Try a few containers on your patio. If you have a large container, it doesn't have to be very deep (8-12 inches) with a wide top, you can plant several different types of plants in one. For example, a tomato plant in the middle, with a bell pepper, jalapeno, and eggplant around the perimeter. Just remember container plants take more watering. Good luck to you my friend, and there is always the farmer's market.

Inna - If you can't grow your own, it is good for the environemnt and the economy to support the local farmers at farmers' markets and other venues. Tomatoes are one of my favorites and the lycopenes have tremendous health benefits.

Max - Thanks! It will definitely be another exciting season for growing wonderful veggies.

Betina - I agree, BTW the watermelons are planted! I was hoping to get a new garden post done this week but I have been so busy and time simply slips by.
