Did any one see Martha's heirloom tomatoes???
I was watching Martha this morning, because it's my day off and I can't help myself I love her! She had a fabulous platter with all sorts of heirloom tomatoes on it! Where the heck did she get such beautiful huge beefstake tomatoes in green, purple, orange and red? And then she busted out last years SSE catalog as a good source. I almost died, thank god someone's getting that information out to the general public!

Martha has been a long time advocate of Heirloom tomatoes, glad she is too.

A saw her show when she was in her tomato garden. It was like a jungle of ten foot tall plants with the most amazing bunches of fruit all over them. Oh, and none of her perfectly staked plants looked like they had a branch or leaf out of place.

My wife and I happened to be at home...she was watching it because she had the person from the show "Medium" on...one of the Arquettes I believe--and she really likes this show.
I was walking by and glanced at the TV...my wife later said that I stopped dead in my tracks and had my mouth open . She told me you would have thought that Martha and her guest were sitting there naked...but she knew that I was drolling over that plate of tomatoes... She thinks there is something wrong with me |

It must be nice (translate that phrase as living a charmed life) to have a bunch of lackies to tend your tomato plants for you. Of course those that actually tend their own plants have the pride and satisfaction of their our own accomplishments to feel rich about. I wonder sometimes when I see the muckety mucks walking arrogantly around their stately grounds how proud they must be of all the hard work they've done on their property and in their gardens.
PS No offense intended to Bully and Bully Farms who I've heard used gold ingots as rebar in the concrete walkways and mulches his maters with C notes! :wink:
