heritage tomatoes


Because of the colder-than-average early spring followed by constant, flooding rains, much of our garden has suffered. My herbs are not happy, the strawberries washed out, and the non-blooming roses are possibly being eaten by deer. The wild animals even ate my Christmas cactus that bloomed profusely just two months ago!

But our vegetable patch is thriving! Delicious green beans, cucumbers and zuchini. We've made a couple of batches of salsa with smaller tomatoes and the peppers, and the heirloom tomatoes are huge and tasty.

  1. I love this spread, Vicky. The tomatoes look so lush and juicy. I love the layout and letter work too. Is that a stamp you use for your journaling? Did you make it? I've been looking for a lined stamp with no success.

    1. Susan, I originally used the lined stamp, purchased at Hobby Lobby, so I could later jot down notes at church. But I didn't end up writing anything. So later I added the trinity knot "just because" and put the journal down. Later Bill brought in the three tomatoes from our garden which inspired me to finish the journal pages. (I never seem to plan these things -- they just happen.)
      I have found two line stamps in the scrapbook section at Hobby Lobby or Michael's over time, though they are rare.
