Thursday in the Garden ~ Footy World Cup? Who needs it!

Bing
World Cup: can't beat them..?. then join them! 
Actually, apple footy is something of MY speciality...
I recommend you stock pile ...
... and only then make your selection
take great care over this - texture first...
then weight ...
 and firmness ...
Bring it on
READY, STEADY, GO
SCORE! (more than can be said for some!)

Hate football! what IS the point?!

Monster tomato up date:
  • Further to some comment in our last garden post, we are unable to confirm which tomatoes Mrs H is wrestling growing (they were a label-less gift, and perhaps due to the size of them some kind of joke!).
  • Yes, they are being grown inside but in the conservatory (because the greenhouse just isn't big enough!).
  • Currently they stand at 12 feet and are still growing (despite Mrs H attempting a lop). It's a wilderness in here!

  2. We are in awe of your monster tomatoes. Ours are barely hanging on. Maybe we should try growing them inside next year instead of outside.

  3. Oh, the World Cup has nothing on your game, Bing! Look at your skill, your form! Amazing!

    As for those tomatoes...Our human is going to Google now, since she never knew tomatoes could get that huge. Tomatoes on steroids. LOL. How big does the fruit get, or do you know yet?

  4. P.S. Aha! Determinate versus indeterminate tomato plants! Well, you learn something new every day!

  5. Kea (above) thank you so much for resolving my monster tomato issue, the link you sent explains all! I'll know another time and have sent it on to all sorts of family who fear their tomatoe plants will be like mine. Helen (Mrs H)

  6. Apple footy looks like much more fun than the World Cup to us! (Our humans insist on watching the World Cup but most of us think it is very boring - we agree with your remark about scoring!) And it looks like you have cherry tomatoes there? Some varieties of those taste better than the big ones, in our human's opinion.

  7. No World Cup on at our house...apply footy sounds great! I think we should start a tournament!

    For the next 3 weeks we have to suffer my mom being obsessed with the Tour de France. Sigh.

    Our mum gave up trying to get our tomato plants to stand up.

  11. We will take watching the two of you play over the World Cup any day - much more fun, and a lot cuter!

    And wow, that is crazy that the tomato is so tall - and pretty cool too!

  15. You should play for England! No, you should play for a good team. Netherlands or Spain!
