    Ok, last pics (for now) I promise.... Well, my youngest came up and was "mad" at me because you could see her lower torso in one of the pics. :rolleyes: So, to appease her I said she could "share" our good friend and beloved family member Dutch.... He's such a cutie and a GREAT dog...

    Ok.... that explains a lot. We had that REALLY wet spring where I was dropping blooms all over the place and the temps have been up and down a ton as well. Here's a couple more just for fun. My Roma's are all getting huge and a few are starting to turn pink. I must have nearly 60 tomatoes on...

    Ok.... I FINALLY downloaded some editing software (I got tired of looking for anything in this confounded VISTA). First up just a couple of general shots of the maters. The first one was taken about two weeks ago. Notice the stakes which are 8' stakes pounded into the ground around a foot or so...

    LOL.... well, the new camera was a necessity since the girls (the Mrs and my two daughters) dropped not once but TWICE my really nice DSLR during their last trip to the zoo. None of them admit "who done it" but it really doesn't matter. The camera was trashed. :mad: So, I picked up this little...

    I uploaded them right from the camera to the HD. I'm not sure if there is something to re-size stuff on this new computer or not. VISTA may be ok once I learn where everything is, but right now, I don't care for it at all. I can't find anything. LOL :o

    I found a free online picture re-sizer, but these things are so big (3000 x 4000 pixels on the one I just checked) and being on a dial up.... I don't think the thing would load by next WEEK let alone the four or five I wanted to share.... LOL Oh well, I'll figure it out. :cool:

    It's an elcheapo point and shoot 12.0 MP by Kodak. So far, I HATE it because unlike the previous DSLR, it doesn't have a view-finder. And since I'm an old fart and used to 35mm and then my former DSLR where I could compose the pics with my eye instead of having to look at a screen.... I find it...

    Ok.... got the digital camera replaced. Although, not as nice as our previous one. But for the LIFE of me, I can't figure out why these files are so HUGE. The pics I uploaded from the camera to share with you guys (and ask a question about something as always), are 2.3 MB! Does anyone know how I...

    Tomatoes

    Well, it was touch and go early on for the tomatoes and beans. My peppers STILL aren't blooming much at all (except for my Chili Peppers which have blooms and fruit all over the plant and it's the smallest plant of the bunch by FAR). Now, my BEANS have recovered very nicely. I just picked the...

    Tomatoes

    Oh MAN you guys.... I've got blooms a'plenty and maters setting all over the place! Last count was almost 20 on my Beefsteak plant (one big one, two mediums and a whole bunch of itty-bitty ones), at LEAST that many on my Roma plant and between the Bigboy and Betterboy plants, another dozen and a...

    LOL.... Sarah (my 12 year old) just said she thought they were "CUTE!" :eek:

    From Google images..... EWWWWWE! :eek:

    Tomatoes

    I hope so CG.... but what I described is not a sandwich, but a nice Italian CAPRESE salad. I change it up a bit by adding the toasted pine nuts sometimes or crumbled Stilton cheese if I'm in the mood. The traditional recipe doesn't call for any balsamic vinegar either and uses fresh Mozzarella...

    Tomatoes

    I haven't worked as hard as you have, but I only have four tomato plants. From the early season being overly cool and wet where all of my tomatoes dropped all their blooms, to the recent spate over very warm nights and hot humid days (and to a large degree.... me more than likely over...

    Tomatoes

    Ok.... you guys are starting to scare me. This is my first garden in thirty years, did all kinds of stuff wrong (mainly, being impatient and planting stuff WAY too early) and have forgotten more stuff than I'll ever remember again. But.... squirrels and rabbits eating the tomatoes off the...
