So...Geoffrey the Groundhog felt it necessary to have a taste test of our FIRST RED Beefstake Tomato in the Market Garden. This was not an approved tasting.

Feeling/Emotions: HIGHLY PI**ED OFF and stressed

To avoid any additional UNAPROVED tastings, I have removed all tomatoes that would be in his reach and have tucked them away to ripen.

Feeling/Emotions: Determined and Motivated

Watch this...😉
