I just went outside to water my tomatoes and snow peas. I had neglected them for the past couple of days, having gotten used to the rain. There, smiling at me, were five plump Roma tomatoes! I will leave them on the vine and see if they turn red. I am about to head out and get groceries. How is your Monday shaping up? Photo is of some snow peas from a few years ago.

Good luck with your tomatoes. I still have a few hot peppers on my plants on the balcony, but I doubt they will ever turn red.

@LadyDuck Are tomatoes good when they're green?

Glad that you got new tomatoes. Here we have some new issues cropping up at personal front. And the trickiest part is to deal with lying and clever folks.

Nice! May you soon feast on those lovely tomatoes. I did a lot of grocery shopping early . . . and I had time to work on a sweet pea blossom bush.

@TheHorse Vince is very proud of his mint, parsley and basil. They all grow beautifully for him.

Then another earthquake hits and turns the tomatoes into tomato juice. I just had lunch and I’m about to go for a walk.

The sight of even one tomato on the vine is heart-warming, isn't it? I remember how I used to feel back in my gardening days, when I had a bit of land and I used to sow all kinds of seeds on it. Kinda miss those days, but who knows? Those days may return. I may yet have my farm and I may start growing all kinds of plants on it. Its good to dream!

Yep. My harvests are not "big." But they are satisfying.

I still have a few tomato plants alive in the garden and picked a cherry tomato just last week. I don't thin I will get any more, since we have had a freeze here.

I hope your Romas turn red. Do you know how to make fried green tomatoes just incase?

My Monday was ok. It rained most of the morning. I worked on my best friend's diamond painting. I also got a package that I worked from Walmart.com. It was two litter scoops. They are metal ones. Ours were plastic and one looked like it had broken some and they were old.

Yay for the tomatoes! Yesterday was not a good day. I was really low which hasn't happened in many, many years. I'm better today. Have a good day.

The wind chill here right now is +2 degrees. It seems strange that anyone can be growing tomatoes in December outdoors. Enjoy one for me!
