This is the first ‘German Striped’ tomato from our garden.  Heather has declared it the best tomato she has ever had, and I might just agree.  It had the perfect balance of tartness, acidity, and sweetness; and a very fruity flavor.  The taste lingered (in a good way) in my mouth for about a half [...]

Here is where I show off some of the tomatoes from our garden.  We’ve got Blondkopfchen, Green Sausage, Riesentraube, and some standard grape tomatoes in the salad.  Scrambled eggs and rosemary-lavender potatoes complete the meal.

We put up some wall graphics about the crib, gave the bedding a test drive and played with the mobile…
