Tomatoes from Heaven

Last spring Jake and I planted a salsa garden - 8 tomato plants, 4 pepper plants and 4 bell peppers. In the fall when it all came ripe for the picking I was 2 months pregnant and was too sick to go out and pick them and Jake didn't want to do it either. So the tomatoes rotted on the vine right where they were. Winter came and went and then spring came and went and I had Soren. Too busy with the new baby no garden got planted this spring/summer.

Last Friday Jake and I were out doing yard work. Jake mowed the lawn and I pulled weeds. I was pulling weeds from the "garden" and I noticed that not everything in the garden was weeds, there actually were plants - tomato plants. After pulling all the weeds from around the tomato plants I discovered I have 5 plants ready to start growing tomatoes.

I guess there will be salsa this year after all.

  1. That's awesome. We tried to plant a salsa garden, but the only things that grew in our garden this year were tomatoes and lettuce. Oh well. Try again next year. Your tomatoes must have planted themselves last year. What good tomatoes!
