Today we’re talking tomato. Tomatoes are one of the staples of my garden. I’ve started from seed, and I’ve purchased plants from the local nursery (and there have been years when I’ve managed to kill my starts, and end up buying plants to replace them). I grow cherry (or grape!) tomatoes for salads and for the kids to eat- there are few things better than sitting and watching kids picking through the garden eating vegetables (or picking through with them). I grow slicing tomatoes to eat fresh. Most importantly I grow paste tomatoes for canning and making salsa.

Finding housing, changing schools, even starting a new job can all be part of the stress of moving. And for us Mormons, making new friends and finding your place in a new ward can be stressful, too.
