Me and my tomatoes

Me and my tomatoes. Boy, there is nothin better than home grown tomatoes. My brother Ricky hauled in some soil from the Anderson family farm in Stonewall County. My Father had some old cotton burrs that had decomposed and he mixed them in with some regular soil and loaded the soil onto Ricky's truck and Ricky brought them. I wish I had a picture of the contraption. Anyway, Ricky and I built some raised bed frames and filled them with the soil. We left some big tire tracks in the yard, but you can't really see them now. As you can see my tomates have taken off. We are just now starting to harvest the big ones. I have had to put a net over the tomatoes because of mockingbirds. (the photo does not show the portion of the tomatoe that had the "bird tax" taken out)
