Proud as Punch!

I gave each of the grand-children a tomato plant to grow.Heather and Skyler (the two oldest) each have the Big Boy tomato's. Alya has the Roma and Jaron has Cherry tomato's.
The results are starting to come in!


Jaron found his first (ever before in his young life)bright red Cherry tomato today!



He was so proud!
He looked the whole plant over to see if there were anymore.




Then we had to take the bright red Cherry tomato in where we could split it and try it out!
I thought this pic was so cute! When we told him to present the inside of the tomato he showcased it. Kids,you got to love them!
I'll keep you posted as soon as more results come in.

Until then,
Keep on Truckin!
