Being Married to a Gardener has its Perks...

When I'm not scraping, sanding, staining, or painting something, I'm usually in the kitchen. Sadly, all the home improvement projects have currently taken precedence over cooking. Thankfully, my husband is an awesome gardener and brings me wonderful tomatoes that don't need anything to be mouthwatering.

A few minutes work and you have this...

Some toasted bread, mayonnaise, sliced garden fresh tomatoes, lemon basil, and a little salt. I know the first freeze is coming and I want to enjoy these babies while I still can.

My Grandpa was also a great gardener.  He had made most of the yard into one big garden that he put so much time and energy into.  Grandpa passed his skills down to his children and my mom has a pretty good garden now that she gets a lot of vegtables out of - tomatoes, radishes, lettuce, carrots, and potatoes.  After Grandpa left us Grandma didn't want to keep it going so she turned it back into an ordinary yard.

What sort of tomatoes are the yellow and the deep purple ones? Do they taste the same as other tomatoes?

I'm trying to be a gardener, but can't grow house plants.  Thankfully hubby has a very green thumbs.  The tomatoes didn't farewell, but that is fine since I hate don't really like them for just eating, (it is a texture thing with me). But I'm amazed at all the different varieties and sizes of them that I see at the grocery store.

Perhaps pear tomatoes?  I'm not sure on whether they taste different or not.

The purple ones are called Indigo Rose, and they are only purple on the outside.

 I'm not 100% sure, but I think the yellow ones are called Gold Nugget.

I'll ask my husband if he remembers when he gets home. Both varieties do taste the same as other tomatoes.

You should see me when he goes out of town and I'm trying to follow all of his instructions. :pb_eek:  As I'm watering, I'm begging the plants not to die on me and asking them to please hold on until he gets back.

      Artemis (Cynthia Jeub) 4: Plotting The Grift for the New Location

      I would say that if Art isn't fundraising, that their basic needs are being met by their income.  Sure they aren't going to go out to dinner or buy lottery tickets but if their basic needs are met, they can work towards other goals without the stress of knowing if they can make rent or pay for utilities.

      Artemis (Cynthia Jeub) 4: Plotting The Grift for the New Location

      I know a trans person (male to female). It’s been about a year since they came out. Their birth name is Harry but they go by Hari.  Saw new pictures of them today & they look like a natural female.

      Artemis (Cynthia Jeub) 4: Plotting The Grift for the New Location

      some trans or nonbinary people try to pick something similar to their origin name to make the transition for other people easier. so Maddie to Matthew or Bailey to Bryan. considering Artemis real name is Cynthia, they could have gone by Cy, pronounced "sigh" or Cyril, Cyrus, Cyd. Artemis Stardust just seems like art wanted a name they deemed as "cool". but honestly makes them standout in a negative way since people know art did it on purpose and probably wasn't named that at birth. And if Art wants to change their last name why doing they just takes their partners last name. They said a while ago they were engaged and tried to thrift money for a courthouse wedding. with matching tailored tuxedos and custom rainbow rings. Art if your health  and death wishes are so important to you  just go to the courthouse and get married, you dont need to beg hard workin people for money so you can have pride rings and a custom tuxedo, there are suits at the thrift shop and cheap rings anywhere
