Sometimes it makes me want to cry . . .

Those of you who know me well know I am just one of those blondes that seriously has blonde moments sometimes. Okay, sometimes meaning quite often. I was just not blessed with the gift of quick common sense, or the gift of seeing the obvious. And I've always been like that . . . evne before I started dying my hair. cough.

Anyways, so we were so excited to expand our garden this year. We kept the little box out in the yard, but added 2 more square foot gardens. We decided that it would be fun to grow lots of tomatoes and peppers and can our own salsa, since that is a commodity we never seem to have enough of.

Well, we seemed to plant at the perfect time, and our garden has really grown HUGE, as you can see!



These are just our tomato and pepper plants. The peppers... grew some blossoms but then all seemed to die. Probably some bug I didn't spray for. Oh well. I was mostly excited about the tomatoes, not only because of the salsa, but also because I have been finding and saving lots of yummy tomato recipes over the past few months.
Well, the tomatoes really started blossoming a few weeks ago, which was really exciting. I noticed that there were LOTS of tomatoes growing all on one little branch of the plants. I thought that was kind of weird but then shrugged it off assuming it was because of the SUPER SOIL we put in those boxes. (See, people? BRAINS!)
Anyway, well those tomatoes have now turned red and are FULL SIZE:

Which means about the size of a grape. Yes, I planted 9 GRAPE TOMATO PLANTS! Words on a family-appropriate blog cannot describe the explicatives that ran through my mind when I realized that. I still cry every time I go out there. What the freaking heck are we going to do with 8 million grape tomatoes? And who is the moron that didn't look close enough at the plants she bought?

Generally, I'm pretty chill with the fact that I am not the smartest tack in the shed, but sometimes.... it really makes me want to cry.
