My cousin Bebe sent this photo. It seems she is growing tomatoes in her south Florida home. She reports some varieties tolerate Florida but these look pretty good to me. Mine are pretty tiny and green.
Our family, with the exception of me, has had "green thumbs". My polish grandfather had a whole lot next to his house and he grew everything from beans to pears and apples. I heard he experimented with grafting. I remember the sour grapes and the great flowers. My Mom loved his yellow string beans. To this day, I search all the markets for them.
Mom grew wonderful flowers. She had the biggest blooms on geraniums at the lake I have ever seen. Her advice-fertilize the heck out of them and deadhead...My sister has a great yard. My other cousins both have lovely yards. Judy claims to have won a prize for the best ferns grown from spores.( top that)...Uncle Al always had rows of juicy raspberries among other things. Maybe I did inherit some of their skill with plants. Stay tuned to see!
