I'm getting so many tomatoes, I decided I'd better put my bird scare program into effect. ;)

Very creative.
Those little cherry tomatoes will take over! At least they did for me. Yours look so healthy and good!
Oh, now that's funny! I can hear the circus music. LOL Your tomatoes look lovely. My plants are still teeny tiny. I hope they "do something" soon. :)
