Cracked Teeth and Tomatoes

Ronald has something in his garden that has ruined his tomato crops for the past several years. I suggested putting pots of tomato plants on the front porch.

After church, we stopped by the local Home Depot. We bought pots, potting soil, and four tomato plants.

Whoa, baby!

Yep, I think I’ll probably crack every tooth I have! Those suckers must be made of pure gold! I ’bout lost my uppers when the girl added up the items. My eyeballs bugged! My mouth dropped open. What in the world had I done? I could have bought crates of tomatoes all summer with what we paid!

In the end I laughed at my stupidity. I told Ronald that in the fall, we are going to set the plants in our sunny garage and nurse them along as long as possible. We are going to count the numbers of tomatoes we get off the plants and figure the cost per item. Just for fun – and a reminder to count the cost ahead of time.

Blessings

Has anyone else ever been bothered by the plural of tomato?
