Thanks to Alma at our local paper, the Quad-City Times, for featuring our garden and the blog again in the paper today.
Ryan was especially pleased that “his” crops of onions, potatoes and corn made the paper.
Alma also researched the cause of the spots on the tomatoes. The bad news is that the problem is tomato anthracnose, which is a fungal disease. So, that’s bummer news, but I’m glad to know. The good news is that many of the tomatoes are now coming in sans spots. Maybe I’m in the clear?
Our last 30 seconds of fame in the paper are here and here.

I agree with Jenny, frameworthy for sure! Someday – on your farm with chickens – you can tell your grandkids about how you got your start growing all your veggies in your first little house as newlyweds. I just adore you two.
How cool!
How exciting! You will have to frame your famousness at the new house…and I am knocking on wood about your tomatoes!
