Natural blessings

These are my tomato plants.... The left one is Cherry Tomatoes and the right one my Yellow and Orange Heirloom.



This Cherry Tomato plant sets almost 4 feet from base to tip. It is hard to get the whole thing in a picture up close. So far the boys have counted 221 tomatoes off our one plant.

This is my Heirloom Tomato Plants that I have been saving the seeds from year to year. This is the sixth growing season. And the interesting thing is each year I get less and less tomatoes from my two plants.



See the fruits of our Labors.....

Things I have learned about the south...





Fact #1 - That Flies & Frogs are the same size (about 3 inches) and both can be bright green or neon purple....
















Fact #2 - That Red Crabs are blue & Blue Jays are RED...






(They call these Red Bellied Blue Jays. They are really pretty, We have Blue Jays, Red Cardinals and these in our back yard.)






Fact #3 - Spiders are still big & ugly even in South Carolina....
It is called a Banded Argiope or Orb Spider.
