Fried Green Tomatoes

Due to the cold and wet, I have not been able to do anything in my garden. From what I see around the town, many other gardeners are in the same boat.

The daffodils that grow along the front of my house have put forth blooms and my tulips lived through this winter’s snow storm.

My sister bought me a mosquito plant yesterday so that I might keep those pesky little critters away. The easy-to-grow mosquito plant emits a fragrance that keeps mosquitoes away.

The only catch is you must rub or crush leaves to release the scent.

I maintain a small garden with plenty of tomatoes for the hubby and me.

I enjoy the taste of fried green tomatoes but he has yet to appreciate this delicacy, leaving me his share.

Summer days cannot get here fast enough for me. I need to step outside in my bare feet and crunch up those mosquito plant leaves.
