12. OMG!!!

After reading this OP and watching this video, I realised that you are the lovely person who sent me some heirloom tomato seeds!!!! (Okay, I'm 59 and very forgetful!) I will be forever grateful for those seeds! tytytytytyty!!!

I'm on my second garden in an established garden spot (the owners of my little country rent house had a massive garden where my small plot now struggles to produce). I have just lost most of my okra, squash and beans to a fat and relentless groundhog. (I have a friend who is lending me his small shotgun, since my electric fence is not a deterrent.) Ironically, this critter has not decimated my strawberry patch, nor my basil. Seems to be averse to my peppers, too. Luckily, he can't get through my tomato cages.

My baby sister lives in north Raleigh. (Okay, she's only a year younger than me...)

Thank you for posting all your tomato news and pics. I love seeing the variety--so beautiful!
