Baby Nag has a bit of a green thumb. He loves to grow things from seed. He takes tremendous pride when his little green shoots start to leaf. And then he loses interest. This year Mr. Nag rototilled a large garden on a friend's property. He planted tomatoes and pumpkins that Baby Nag had started and mulched them with straw. Because our friend has very low water pressure Mr. Nag takes garbage cans of water over on his pickup truck to irrigate them every other day. His tender care has paid off in spades. We are eating tomatoes at every meal. Sandwiches, sauces, salads and salsa; roasted, boiled and raw. We are giving them away to all our friends and still they keep on coming. The picture above is today's harvest. Excuse me while I boil, skin and pack them in freezer bags.
