    I was out watering with my 2-year-old daughter the day before yesterday. She was helping me count the new tomatoes on my plant (15, by the way), and I turned my back for a second and when I'd turned back she had this little gem in her clutches.

    She was so proud of herself for having picked a tomato..haha.

    I think I've got a pretty decent start on my garden. So far there are a few tomato plants in the ground, little wonder peas, bell peppers, and sugar snap peas in the picture, and cucumbers, a dwarf meyer lemon tree, snap beans, lots of hot peppers, lots of herbs, and probably lots of things I'm forgetting at the moment that can be seen on my gardening flickr.

    My dad and stepmom, until recently, had a scottish terrier who would walk along and eat the tomatoes before they were ripe :D She had to be put down earlier this year tho, and theyre not doing tomatoes this year because of the memories :(

    How cute! I remember my daughter , probably about the same age, grabbing a baby chick at her grandma's house, your tomato did better.Kate loved the chicky a little to hard. Your garden looks great!
