This is one of those stories that you feel bad for your kids but at the same time you have to find the humor in it and I have certainly found the humor. Last year all of our old tomatoes from our garden got thrown in the back lot behind us. (This house is still vacant) Well this year of course the weeds are growing and the kids went out to play and saw all these weeds and Austin comes in asking if weeds grow tomatoes. We explained what happened and so they decided to weed around these plants and care for them and finish growing these plants on their own. And so the story begins......
This is Kaden out creating a moat and a rock wall around the big tomato plant.
Then to his wandering eyes appears another little tomato plant for him to nurture to full growth!
This picture was taken not even a full 2 days after they discovered the plants. They had just gone out and watered the plant an hour before this and were so concerned for it's welfare and wanted to take care of them. This is a picture of the boys when they heard a loud noise out back......
Yes, after a whole summer of the weeds growing tall and out of control they send in these men to take care of the problem. Well the funny part of this story is the look on their faces. Here they walk the yard and stop and look at these plants that are being cared for and shake their head. However the man with the weed eater looked at the plant for about 5 seconds and was processing how and why this would happen and without another thought cuts it off at the bottom without another thought.
The boys had a gasp of ohhhhhhhh....... and then it was all over. This is them assessing the damage and seeing if their is any hope. Austin chose to plant one of the left over tomatoes in the ground thinking it will do something. So to say the least this is the story of the tomato that the boys put all their hard work and effort into and was destroyed by the weed eater.

Oh, the looks on their faces are priceless! I feel so BAD for them because I remember finding little "treasures" when I was a kid. It was such a big deal to me. That's probably something at least Austin and Kaden will remember for a long time. Maybe they can get a little section of the garden next year for their own experiments. I know,it won't be as fun if it's not in a remote weed forest and discovered by accident :).
