Spring is Finally Here!

Well okay so I am loving the warmer weather, however it is supposed to get cold again this weekend. Not looking forward to that, but it will be better than the colder temps we were having a month ago, when they were calling for snow every week! I'm just excited because I am really looking forward to planting some tomatoes. I love fresh tomatoes, they are nothing like the store bought kind. I tried growing some a few years ago when I was living at home with my parents and the squirrels there would pick them and eat them right in front of me. One time one of the squirrels picked one then went underneath the front of my car and ate the tomato while looking right at me. The squirrel was holding it with both of his tiny little hands and took bite after bite, spitting the peeling out. That squirrel had some nerve. I just stood there gaping at this animal. I really wished I had had my video camera handy, because I would have loved to videoed that little incident. The squirrels would pick them while they were still small and green. Needless to say I was not very successful at growing tomatoes that year. I have grown them back in the past and I had great success back then. I sure hope I can get some good ones to grow this year. I tried last year with those topsy turvey planters, what a joke. That didn't work. I think it does work well with the cherry tomatoes but not the bigger tomatoes. I want the big beefsteak tomatoes. I hope to start my little garden in a couple of weeks.
