My dad always grew them and everyone loved their taste, including the grandkids. I couldn't even find seeds for them. Maybe next year. // I want to see your lovely glass rooster on the windowsill! My kitchen is decorated in roosters (and a few chicken, just 'cause they're cute). I also have tiny little glass animals in my china hutch that I collect, thanks to my daughter-in-law and granddaughters always buying them for me.Dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17073882040193144070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-84071824131562000182021-08-25T09:15:28.880-05:002021-08-25T09:15:28.880-05:00We had a crappy year for tomatoes here.
