The Trouble with Tomatoes

Well, you know my thoughts on tomatoes if you have read any of my earlier postings on the subject.

Miguel, who arrived from Cental America, approaches growing tomatoes as the weeds they are in his tropical world and as I did when I first migrated from Trinidad.
He loves his tomato plants ....



He wisely kept them covered with a plastic sheet in the cooler, earlier months. I really like his support system ... a grid of interlocking bamboo posts. He planted many
tomato plants and close together. It reminded of the culture we come from, where we create from what we have before thinking of making a ready made purchase. An attitude that fosters ingenuity.
