Well, I'm proud of them. Grown in my soil, by my hand, picked by me, photographed by me and cooked and eaten by me. No carbon footprint, no supermarket, no preservatives. I think they're special, for a first time effort.

And you know what? I've got three plants left to harvest then that's it til next year.... And it'll be worth the wait!

Yes it's only a photo of some tomatoes, but they're MY tomatoes, and they're special to me.

I'll keep next year's to myself. Maybe someone else will send in a photo of something they're proud of and get a better response. Maybe.

Just a reminder to the OP - while we have sympathy for you in these difficult and depressing times, the h2g2 House Rules clearly state, 'No Spitting'.

*proffers to FWR*

I completely share FWR's sentiments about home-grown tomatoes, even though I've never been the tomato-eater the rest of my family is.

EVERYTHING tastes better fresh from the garden: tomatoes, okra, corn, cucumber, zucchini (courgettes), bell peppers...it makes summer and fall special.

You people know what Thanksgiving is? A time of gratitude for harvest!
And be grateful, y'all - my grandmother used to have to pick her veggies with one hand on a garden hoe and one eye out for copperheads!

Late in life I developed a fondness for sweet peppers. I have pat of a fire-roasted red pepper every day with my lunch. I drink salt-free tomato sauce (I would drink tomato juice, but the evil food companies put too much sodium in it).

Oblivious, totally oblivious!
