Just in case you were filled with tomato envy when you saw our last post:
We went out this morning to find our huge tomato vines toppled over from the weight, cages and all. So I spent the morning trimming back the vines, salvaging the dozens of green tomatoes that were broken off, and tying my cages to the fence. Hopefully the much smaller and thinned out branches will be able to handle the weight of the tomatoes that are left.
I guess the verdict is still out as to whether or not I should become a farmer....

I hope Ellory can get to know Emma. I think they would have a lot to talk about.
