A Tomato in a Tree? Solving the Mystery.
What is this tomato doing up in this tree?
Tomato in E Mt Airy Tree: Sept 9, 2011
E Mt Airy has many beautiful trees, but a tomato in a tree? I know the tomato came from our garden, but how did it get into the tree.
What would CSI do? I had a suspicion, but I had to get proof. So I have started my tree stake out.
Click here to see my stake out results so far. I have found who the likely suspects are, but are they responsible? I’m watching! I’ll let you know what I find out.
