For the very first time ever I am growing tomatoes!  All the plants are heirlooms with two each of four different kinds.  I am charting their growth and I am going to share that with you!

So as of today I have nine tomatoes on 4 plants.  I have two of each kind of plant so while one of each kind - Paul Robeson, Anna Russian, Aunt Ruby's German Green and Gramma Climenhaga - have tomatoes there is still one plant of each kind that has no tomatoes yet.  Very interesting.

I know that you are absolutely fascinated with my back yard gardening and I will therefore make sure to update you as the growing season rolls along!  LOL
