Aunties Tomato Greenhouse

Aunties Tomato Greenhouse Walk up to the greenhouse, Step inside the door, There's a forest of tomato plants, Wander around, have a look and explore. Look left, then look right, Then at the ceiling to the floor, Surrounded by tomato plants, There is tomatoes galore! How did Aunty grow them? Was it with lots of kindness and love? And a watering can, Like rain from the sky above. Or did the fairy godmother (Aunty Phil) Wave her magic wand? And sprinkle a little magic, That made them so big and strong! Now step outside the greenhouse, Take a tomato or two, They are tasty and delicious, And also good for you! 1/8/23

Nothing tastes better than fresh, off the vine tomatoes, especially organic tomatoes. And magic from Aunty Phil, of course. Yum! Delightful and tasty read Jeanette. :)

My tomato plants (grown outside this year) have gone mad and we have been inundated with the things! This made me smile as I intend growing them in our greenhouse next year!

You haven't had a tomato until you've had a Jersey tomato (lol) so red and delicious :) Lovely write, Jeanette! What did the mother tomato say to the baby tomato while walking down the street? Ketchup! Charlie

I had a distant relative who swore that sheep droppings were the secret to tomatoes success. He won many competitions as they were so very sweet, like fruit (which ofcourse they are). Enjoyable poem!

Ahh!! I have thought about how nice it would be to have a small greenhouse so we could have some fresh ones all year long plus a few other things that maybe would grow in there. Thanks for sharing this one with us and for dropping by my page. Sara
