Someone gave my wife and several of her coworkers tomato plants. Â While some folks didn’t want to have anything to do with a tomato plant, the tiny, green six inch tall plant came home one night. Â It was re-gifted to me. Â I decided to stick it in a pot and see if I could grow tomatoes. Â The tomato plant got big real quick. Â Which brings me to Father’s Day. Â I never thought I would be out on Father’s Day buying a tomato cage and something to dissuade flea beetles from eating my plant.
Nothing in life is free. Â The bug stuff and cage cost over $15.00.
I have a classic case of the brown thumb and can kill any plant assigned to me for care.  I hope I get some tomatoes out of this.

My first tomato plant.
