The Sunday Five: How Does Your Garden Grow


1: What is your favorite vegetable or fruit, fresh from the garden?

2: Have you ever eaten veggies while in the garden they were grown in? 

3: Describe your current growing situation? 

4: If you push a shovel in the ground where you live, what will you turn up? 

5: Is a tomato a fruit or a vegetable? 

My Answers: 

1: What is your favorite vegetable or fruit, fresh from the garden? Tomatoes, nicely ripe. 

2: Have you ever eaten veggies while in the garden they were grown? When I was growing up, green beans have a delightful texture, tomatoes taste devine, brush the dirt off on tiny carrots. 

3: Describe your current growing situation? Nada, I am not allowed to keep plants, after the cactus died from neglect. 

4: If you push a shovel in the ground where you live, what will you turn up? Construction debri and history I imagine. 

5: Is a tomato a fruit or a vegetable?  Ignoring the scientific definitions, a tomato is a vegetable.

  2. 1. As you, tomatoes.

    3. Three pot plants, one indoors.
    4. The same, construction debris.
    5. I'll say tomato is a fruit, because I eat them as I would fruit, as well as eating them in the more conventional ways.
