Day 1: Karen and Don have left for Sturgis and I'm taking care of the tomato plant. It's healthy. Lots of tomatoes, not ripe, but with some good hot days they should start to ripen.
Day 2: I think I'll trim the plant so the nutrients go to the fruit instead of the plant. Yikes, I hope this goes well, I don't want anything to happen to this plant.
Day 3: Plant looks good, I don't think I did any damage to it. Nothing looks brown or dying. Hooray!
Day 4: Well, now that I have it all trimmed up maybe I should give it some plant food. Tomatoes are starting to ripen, but I think they need a little extra boost.
Day 5: Still just the one tomato, others will be ripe soon. No harm done with the Miracle Grow!
Day 8: Well, I skipped a few entries, but as you can see I've finally got to pick some of the tomatoes. Can't wait to enjoy these little babies.
Day 8 (Second entry): Yummmmmmmm, there's just nothing better than a BLT sandwich with a home-grown tomato. Well, I used turkey-bacon, not quite the same, but much healthier for me and fewer points on the Weight Watchers diet!
Well, there's the proof that I can take care of the tomato plant. I have a few more days and the temperature outside just keeps going up. I don't want anything to happen to their little plant. Keep your fingers crossed it survives another few days, then my responsibility will be over.
