Peeking Through

I couldn't help noticing these tomatoes peeking through a neighbourhood garden the other day. I've never grown my own vegetables have you?


Warren Buffet offers this advice to college students and I thought it was good advice on life for everyone. He advises doing what you love, being a nice person and not to make the mistake of focussing on what you don't have.

I used to have a big garden for growing veggies, but gave it up after my husband died, it was too much for me to manage. Home grown fruit and veggies are wonderful. Valerie

It's funny, if that fence bordered two properties, the person on this side could swipe some of those tomatoes LOL

I have grown vegetables many times, but I'm not as dedicated as I should be, so the results are minimal. But nothing compares to the taste of homegrown food.

I think that Buffett's words are wise. I wish I could live up to them on a daily basis.

My husband tried to grow tomatoes once, but after the cost of the plant, the water and the effort we only gathered 4 tomatoes! So we decided it was easier and cheaper to just keep buying them at the market. I have some nice basil, mint and parsley though, in containers.

What a cute photo! We've grown tomatoes two years in a row now, the first year there were very few tomatoes, but this year has been better. Great advice!

I don't have much of a green thumb

My thumb is far from green but we do have tomatoes on our deck. I let the hubby take care of it or they would surely die! :-)
