Tomato Tomato

Chris LOVES tomatoes. He will eat them with anything. I'm pretty sure he likes all tomatoes. His favorite thing is the tomato sandwich. I think I finally can make it exactly how he likes it.

One red juicy tomato on top of white bread which has mayo on both pieces with alot of salt and pepper to taste. He could eat them all day long if he could.

Knowing that Chris loves tomatoes so much, my mom gave us a tomato plant when we moved into the house we are in now. It died. I don't know what happened but it was getting to high and would fall over, then eventually it died. We only got 2 little tomatoes off of it and Chris didn't eat them. I think he was grossed out that we grew them or something. He said they weren't big enough and there was no way that they were ready to eat, but they looked plump and red to me, just not as big as the ones in the grocery. We had them on the window sill until they were rotten.

For Chris' birthday this year my mom gave him a packet of tomato seeds. She promised him in the letter that she sent with it that she would plant it somewhere when we moved into our new home. I'm nervous that it will die again, but I'm going to really try to keep it alive this time. I hated to see how sad Chris was when the first one died. I think the seeds she gave us are for yellow tomatoes that are shaped like pears. MMMMM They sound yummy already.

I hope that one day I will be able to plant and have three or four different tomato plants growing and keep them all alive just for Chris.

I wonder if tomato plants are the kind of plants that will come back to life after the winter?
