There it was!
A tomato plant has been flourishing in the back flower bed without our knowledge. It is hearty and FULL of blooms so we staked it up and gave it plenty of water. It's so appropriate that it was discovered on father's day.
My dad has been struggling with his tomato plants for the last few years so he was determined to have an abundance of tomatoes this year. He sterilized the ground, brought in new dirt, sterilized his stakes in bleach water, and proceeded to plant over 20 plants. Then they wilted! Almost all of them so he took a sample to the county extension office. They ran some tests and generated this fancy report stating tobacco kills!
Apparently the seeds he used came in contact at some point with tobacco.
So here it is Grandaddy!
This plant's for you. It was discovered on Father's day and I'm convinced it was put in the Preschooler's garden from your dad.
Happy Father's Day, DAD! We love you!

Oh what a great post!! I think you are absolutely right about the plant!!
I think you may have inherited the tomato gene! ha It must have skipped a generation......
I think he is trying too hard! Buy a plant, a pot, some miracle grow potting soil....sit back and enjoy!!!
you have a cat?
hey, i think your dad just didn't know how to water. i took care of the yard for a few days while his lawn kid was in philly. i got one of his tomatoes, and it was soooo good. my first garden tomato of the summer!
