Tomato Plant Down!

Hello faithful followers,

As you know Mary is in Biloxi this week on a mission trip.  My main responsibility while she is gone is to take care of the plants.  Last night we had a huge storm with very strong winds.  Unfortunately this raised havoc with our outdoor plants.

Exhibit A.
Tragedy has overtaken us!  Not only was our only tomato plant blown over, the pot broke in two!

Never fear, Menards (save big money) still had a clay pot left.  So tonight I repotted the tomato plant in a new clay pot.  Voila!

We now have a healthy and repotted tomato plant.  I trust with a little water and tlc, it won't be long before we will be eating fresh tomatoes.  (The plant to the right of the tomato plant is our basil plant.  We have been enjoying fresh basil all summer.)

crisis averted! Your tomato plant looks way better than ours (even when it's laying in the driveway after being brutalized by the storm!) We love the updates!

Aaarrghhh! And this tomato plant actually has tomatoes on it. I hope it will bounce back. Good job honey on the repairs! Love marycrockerbarnes

YES I love new posts. Great update dad, very funny! I am extremely impressed with the basil plant. I tried to grow basil in the valley and it failed miserably. Dead within a week. Nice rescue of the tomato plant. Can't wait to see you in a week! -chel
