Being Married to a Gardener has its Perks...

When I'm not scraping, sanding, staining, or painting something, I'm usually in the kitchen. Sadly, all the home improvement projects have currently taken precedence over cooking. Thankfully, my husband is an awesome gardener and brings me wonderful tomatoes that don't need anything to be mouthwatering.

A few minutes work and you have this...

Some toasted bread, mayonnaise, sliced garden fresh tomatoes, lemon basil, and a little salt. I know the first freeze is coming and I want to enjoy these babies while I still can.

My Grandpa was also a great gardener.  He had made most of the yard into one big garden that he put so much time and energy into.  Grandpa passed his skills down to his children and my mom has a pretty good garden now that she gets a lot of vegtables out of - tomatoes, radishes, lettuce, carrots, and potatoes.  After Grandpa left us Grandma didn't want to keep it going so she turned it back into an ordinary yard.

What sort of tomatoes are the yellow and the deep purple ones? Do they taste the same as other tomatoes?

I'm trying to be a gardener, but can't grow house plants.  Thankfully hubby has a very green thumbs.  The tomatoes didn't farewell, but that is fine since I hate don't really like them for just eating, (it is a texture thing with me). But I'm amazed at all the different varieties and sizes of them that I see at the grocery store.

Perhaps pear tomatoes?  I'm not sure on whether they taste different or not.

The purple ones are called Indigo Rose, and they are only purple on the outside.

 I'm not 100% sure, but I think the yellow ones are called Gold Nugget.

I'll ask my husband if he remembers when he gets home. Both varieties do taste the same as other tomatoes.

You should see me when he goes out of town and I'm trying to follow all of his instructions. :pb_eek:  As I'm watering, I'm begging the plants not to die on me and asking them to please hold on until he gets back.

      It reminds me of Ballerina Farm. Her life is supposed to be aspirational on instagram but her husband comes from a billionaire family.

      Bontragers/Bowers/Helferichs 13: In the Middle of Jesus’ First Relationship

      Looks like the nearest hospital to Mountain Grove MO is Texas County Hospital in Houston, MO,  about 30 min. away.

      Meanwhile, I wonder how Liz Bontrager feels about 20-year Christian Bowers. He is a bit of a snacc, as they say.  https://www.instagram.com/christianjetbowers/

      So now we have track Brad Pitt in Nick Symmonds and fundie Brad Pitt in Christian Bowers.

      All three succeed in both being attractive AND really off-putting.

      Liz had a thing with Carver a few years ago (to the point that Carver was pictured sitting next to Marlin at several meals, Liz and Carver always had to have a sibling between them in photos, and Carver openly posted creeper pics of Liz on instagram), and IIRC it lasted months. No idea how that would add to the dynamic of her and Christian. It probably wouldn't matter.

      The other factor is it appears Marlin and Becky want their daughters to get married on the later side, which is why Carver and Liz likely didn't go anywhere... Liz is still only 21, while Chelsy and Allison were both on the later side of 26, which is another factor.

      Theobros, Patriarchs, Dominionists, Christofascists et al.

      Almost nothing better than assholes getting in a fight with each other.

      But over privileged Braggie just let’s everyone know that she can do it all!

      Michelle actually had MDs for all or nearly all pregnancies and all but maybe 2 of Michelle’s were delivered in a hospital.
