Jessie's "Mater" Plant

It's Funny Friday
Jessie's Tomato Plant
Nope, still green...
Nope, just herbs in this pot...

What? I don't like maters.

It's that time of the year again for "Jessie's Mater Plant".  Last year we had awful tomato growing weather, it was too hot and too dry, and every insect & disease known to humankind attacked our "maters".

This year I picked out 1 mater plant for Jessie and we planted it on the deck, in a big pot by the French doors.  Here is the "traditional" story:
♥♥♥
Three years ago M & D planted a cherry tomato plant by the French doors that lead into the family room.  One day Molly & Jessie were coming in from the yard and as Jessie walked past the plant she took one tomato off and ate it.  We thought that was so cute, and it continued - only one little tomato and only when she was coming into the family room, and never a green tomato.  So, that became Jessie's "Mater" plant.

Jessie loves tomatoes, Mom can be slicing one in the kitchen and before you know it there she is, sitting quietly next to Mom - waiting.  Mom gives her a piece and she just eats it and waits for more.  Molly doesn't like veggies, but she will eat carrots, but only if they are steamed, oh, and maybe a few green peas.  They both love canned pumpkin, Mom has it in the pantry in case of them having "tummy troubles" if you know what I mean.

See you next Friday.  Have a beary nice weekend.
