'Mayters, 'Mayters, 'Mayters



The Harvest

Some are born gardeners, some achieve gardening, and some have gardening thrust upon them. I am the latter.

In the dirt patch beside our house some tomatoes sprouted. I learned that they were remainders of a neighbors old garden. Apparently when the landscapers cleared the area some seeds lying dormant in the soil finally received some light and began to grow... with a vengeance. Being that Inge is an avid tomato fan, I decided to help the vines along with some water and a few stakes. Our simple garden soon got out of control to the point that picking the tomatoes required that I crawl into the mass of vines in order to get the ones hiding inside. Inge recorded this event so that the rest of the world could see the lengths I will go in order to keep her fed.
