Yummy Tomatoes..special memories

I have always loved the taste of fresh garden tomatoes!  My Grandfather was a very dedicated gardener for many years.  I couldn't wait every year for his tomatoes to get ripe for us to eat.  I remember my Grandma canning jars and jars of tomatoes every year.  Beans were another yummy veggie my Grandpa grew.  I used to help cut the beans for Grandma and Grandpa to can.   This is really making me miss my Grandparents.   It was 8 years ago yesterday that my Grandma died.  Grandpa had died a year and a half earlier.   I'm thankful for the many years I had with them.  I don't know many people who had their grandparents into their 30's like I did.  The past few years, I've tried my own hand at growing tomatoes and other veggies.  Because of my April surgery, I wasn't planning on planting any plants this year, but thankfully my friend Julie shared some tomato plants her neighbor had given her.     ...
