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.

      Jed and Katey 4: The First Next Gen Twins

      Every time I see Jed, he looks more and more like Josh. If I was starting to look like him, I would try really hard to do something different. Like I would grow a Magnum PI mustache. Or I would grow my hair a lot longer. Just to look different from Josh.

      The egg apron is a deal breaker for me.  That was just an insult.  "You think you deserve a gift?  I'll show you your place!"

      And I'm a little bit tired of the social media scolds.  If they didn't put their lives on the internet, we wouldn't have opinions.  They did so we do.  If most of us think that he's a bully, he probably is.  I guess it's another case of the husband being so full of himself that he was sure the interview would show him in a good light.  It didn't.

      Bro Gary Hawkins 24: Smoking Meat

      I always find these Trump fantasy worlds very bizarre.  He's never in a nice suit meeting a world leader or even in a fireman's suit saving a child from a burning building.  It's always some fake macho outfit and, in this case, driving a car with a Confederate flag on it.  Their heroes don't seem that heroic.

      It looks like Micah is in a relationship, or very good friends, with this Florida realtor Veronica Peters. I’ve seen photos of them together on Micah’s IG, but I always thought she kind of looked too old for him. Maybe not.

      This was on Moriah’s IG:

      And this was on Veronica’s personal IG and professional IG:

      Quoting myself from six months ago. I think this really is Micah’s girlfriend. She doesn’t seem quite as public about their relationship as she did back then.

      This photo of Veronica didn’t get copied over from my old post.

      Spoiler

      Ballerina Farm

      There was a post on social media talking about this recent interview with Ballerina Farm and asking what people think about some of the things in it. So many commenters were like, “it’s her business! It’s not your life so why do you care?” This is the type of thing that bugs me to no end. Ballerina Farm posts their lives willingly! They post their children’s lives! Of course people will speculate and care! If they didn’t put their lives all over social media none of us would know anything about them.
