I love the smell of tomato leaves.  They remind me of the fruit to come and not those awful supermarket tomatoes.   

Yesterday, I had a bikini top on and was sitting in the shade under the apple trees potting up cues, aubs and tomatoes.  When I came indoors my husband remarked that I was really burnt and I have been really suffering since.  I suppose it was as I took the potted plants into other parts of the garden that the damage was done.  What a year this has been.......too cold or wet to dig and then we have such hot and humid weather which can be damaging to our skin.

I have really enjoyed it this year-only about 200 tomato plants in the hope of catching late buyers. It`s when it`s more like 800 plus every thing else I get `pricker`s finger` ;D
