Honesty may be the best policy, but it's important to remember that apparently, by elimination, dishonesty is the second-best policy.

Old Fools Journal: Fresh Tomatoes End of January

These are the remainder of the tomatoes I posted about January 4th. I have eaten half again this many and some are still in the refrigerator. They are tasty. Started from saved seed in August, raised in pots in dirt from my kitchen scrap worm pile, picked green to save from 4 days of hard freezing
and ripened in the house. Now I'm no farmer and mostly these took care of themselves so I cannot brag on my farming skills and if I can do it anyone can. I dream of what I could do if I knew what I was doing but I am going to endeavor not to get carried away.

It has proven to be much more expensive to grow my own vegetables over the last 4 years than to buy even with the high prices of produce. I can grow in thrift store pots and cast off buckets in dirt from my own pile for cheap as a hobby and that's what I'm doing this year unless I get the spring growing fever again.

End of January and fresh home grown tomatoes for lunch, how good can it get?

Not much more than that.
