Homegrown Veggies!

Yahoo!

My darling Hubby surprised me with a bit of bounty from his veggie patch last nite.

We've got potatoes and an onion. Now, there are lots more onions in the garden (he planted approx. 50) but I only needed a small one for dinner. The potatoes he dug up because they are looking a bit droopy on top and he wanted to check and make sure they were okay.
He is afraid our tomato crop will be drastically reduced. We don't know why- but it looks like over 1/2 our plants are dying. We've watered them quite well and inspected for buggies but the only thing DH can think of is that something has gotten to the roots.
We are a bit bummed as nothing beats fresh, homegrown tomato slices with ranch dressing drizzled on. Plus I make this yummy broiled tomato with a bit of parmesan and mozzeralla- slurp! Good!
We are praying that we will be able to keep a few plants and have some tomatoes.

Dying?

My m-i-l had one of her tom plants totally wilt and die. Is that what happened to yours? She didn't pull it up to see what was going on down below, but she figured something got to it.

Too bad...hope some of yours make it. Could you send me the recipe for your broiled toms with cheese? Sounds really good!
