Ok, humans are different, we know, but Mama has gone over board with tomato plants. This year was the first time that Mama has been growing tomatoes. Big deal... ? Apparently yes, for her. The plants are in pots. Since we live in a place where the temperature jumps up to 30 deg F between day and night, Mama has been moving the plants in the mornings from the house to the deck and back home at night. I'm a little tired of all the commotion and attention the plants are getting... They are just tomatoes! I don't even care to eat them! My human nephew CK and Mama even gave the names to the first few little green balls. Now we have the entire solar system growing on the vines. Jupiter was the first to turn red. CK and Mama every day examined the tomato planet and made predictions when it will be ready to pick. CK and Mama planned and practiced the technique of picking the fruit without disturbing the neighboring fruit planets. We can all sleep peacefully now; the Earth is still on the vine but I already wonder what will happen to all of us when the time comes to pick the Earth tomato off the vine...
BTW Jupiter ended up on the lunch plate today... Mama said it was super delicious. Can't wait for the rest to be eaten, so the life can go on…

We are struggling with similar temp shifts this year. You don't happen to live in the northeast do you? :)
ReplyDeleteWelcome Life With Dogs!
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting and follow. I live in the northwest near the mountains. The temps go up and down quickly between day and night and that's pretty typical. Have a friend in NH. She tells me the weather gets quite extreme over there.
Thanks again for stopping by.
