Wow, that is a big Tomato

TPG came home from PREP (Parish Religious Education Program AKA Sunday School) one Sunday in February with a little paper cup with dirt in it. I was about to pitch it in the garbage when he yelled "No, I am growing a tomato" Apparently they had learned about spring and growth in class that day and they had planted some kind of seed. We set the cup in the window sill and forgot about it. A few weeks later we noticed that there was actually something growing in the cup. We nurtured the plants along with some water for a few more weeks and realized that we really did have a tomato plants on our hands. We had to re-pot them several times over the course of the next few months and when May finally rolled around we planted them in our garden. Not knowing what kind of tomatoes we were going to get we just hoped they would be edible. Well, as spring turned into summer, the two plants we managed to get in the ground just kept growing and growing. Soon there were blooms on them and tiny little green tomatoes. They got bigger and bigger and bigger with no sign of turning orange. We all got a little inpatient and TTG started picking the green ones and making fried green tomatoes. Wow, those were awesome!!! But, we left a few on the vine out of curiosity to see what would become of them. Well, they finally turned orange and they are about the biggest tomatoes I have ever seen. Not sure what we are going to do with them butTPG sure is proud!
