First tomato

bottom of it was rotten. I've forgotten what causes this condition (blossom
end rot?). Does any body know and know how to prevent it? Yeah, Sue, I
know I could buy the maters at the grocery store, but I'm tired of
cardboard-tasting tomatoes. These two plants I bought already had small
tomatoes on them when I brought them home. They have grown and are ripening
now. The plants seem to be setting more fruit but something is eating the
leaves, also........hmmmmmmm......maybe I do need to stick to the farmers
market.

and how hard you are willing to work. When I was growing up, we had a
huge vegetable garden, and the whole family worked in it. My Dad would
pay my brother and me 5 cents for every tomato worm we caught. We had
wonderful tomatoes!

We could learn a lot from crayons: some are sharp, some are pretty, some
are dull, some have weird names, and all are different colors, but they
all have to learn to live in the same box.

because no birds got to them. A friend of mine saw the ornaments on the tomato
bushes and said, "I don't even want to know."
I have a friend who is a wonderful person but doesn't see where my need to
"create" gets me anywhere. I just spent a week painting my fence and also
stenciled red Hibiscus flowers and leaves with little blue flowers. ( I sure hope
no humming birds get hurt...They go for red flowers and I forgot that). At any
rate, I think it looks great. And her comment to me was, "You seriously need to
get a life". But, I think maybe (?) deep down inside it might have been a little
envy. She has been working on her backyard for years and thinks it looks like home
beautiful. All it is is some grass, some azalea bushes and a bird feeder. But I
always compliment her on it because she seems to think it's so wonderful.
People can be very funny. I planted two avocado trees I started from pits. One is
almost 8 feet tall, one almost 5ft. I don't think we will get any avocados because
I think they have to be grafted or something but they sure are pretty. I gave her
one and where did I find it? In her garbage can. Now I have 3 avocado trees! lol
Al says, when you walk into our back yard, it just screams, "JANIE" cause it's
...ummm...different! lol
I love it though, lots of colors!

I think this is caused by inconsistent watering, but don't take MY
word for it. BTW, I am sooooooooooooo envious.

that rot.
I'd look carefully for that big ole worm eating the leaves. Unless they
move they're hard to spot because they're the same color as the plant.
Sometimes easier to spot are their droppings on the ground below....
I have a patio plant about to deliver some fruit too. It was about 1' when
I bought it and it has about 8 tomatoes on it now. It's pretty tricky to
raise them here in the desert heat. They easily cook right on the vine if
you let them have too much sun.

avacado orchard and he did all kinds of studying about them when he first
started, even got to be friends with the expert from Texas A & M Univ. He told
me that he found out that avacados do not make fruit until they are about nine
years old. So, just sit back and wait! LOL
