Planting toy trucks














I've wanted to grow tomato plants for at least a decade now. So when I passed by a 60 cent packet of tomato seeds at Meijers a few months ago I grabbed them, pondered the possibility of freshly picked tomatoes on my salads every evening and headed for the checkout excited that I was actually going to live out this dream. No more dreaming, it was actually going to happen, I would actually have tomatoes all the time right in my own backyard.

I planted the seeds in a giant planter I had flowers in last year. I even purchased a bag of super rich black garden soil specifically engineered to growing vegetables all chock full of miracle grow and earth worm poop, whatever they use to make it really black and nutritious.

With all the rain we've had my tomatoe plants were on their way, little green sprouts turned into young healthy tomatoey looking plants full of promises that soon they would deliver my long awaited tomatoes. The Darby and Cooper discovered them......

They thought it would be better to remove the tomatoe plants and use my super dirt to bury their toy truck and a sippy cup, so naturally after I got past my disappointment, I grabbed my camera.
