How would you feel if you were discarded like a tomato?
This field is being prepared for the next round of crops.
It has been harvested and cleared.
As I walk towards the middle of the field, dots of red seem to pop-out of the ground surface.
A closer look reveals lots of tomatoes that did not make it to the market.
And many more tomatoes that appear to have been culled out from the harvest.
Drawing for A Silver Gift of Gratitude
I post an article every day using either the #steemsilvergold or the #ssglife tag, and #thealliance tag.
I will be giving A GIFT OF GRATITUDE to one lucky supporter of my blog.
The steemians who comment within the first 24 hour period of posting my articles from August 23 through September 1, 2019 will be included in a drawing for one silver coin or round or bar (which, for reference purposes only, is the equivalent to more than 100 steem by today's prices shipped to the winner).
Drawing will be any time on September 2, Pacific.
The list of First Commenters will be provided at the end of my article of the day.

I'm going to be getting some more silver soon
AWESOME, @teenagecrypto! Looking forward to seeing it, my friend. How's school?
School is good
Each one of those tomatoes will sprout up many many new tomato plants. That's a lot of tomato seeds!
Yeah... that's a lot! Next spring, I am going to plant tomatoes in pots! Do you have a vegetable garden, my friend, @melinda010100?
When my kids were little we farmed and I did have a big garden and grew most all of our food. My husband died two years ago and because I live alone I don't need to grow and preserve big volumes of food anymore. I grow flowers and herbs in pots out on my deck, but health issues keep me from doing more. I love growing things!
Oh wow!!! I know who to ask then when I start growing vegetables in pots... next Spring! I am actually excited to start right away, but I am afraid whatever I plant won't survive the Winter (although I live in Northern California).
I am sorry about your husband. I live alone too!!! Another thing in common, my friend! I do have three Yorkies living with me.
I don't know your exact climate but you may be able to plant spinach and things like broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, and bok choy now. They all like cool weather. I bet a local garden center could give you all kinds of tips! I always have parsley, rosemary and thyme and some cilantro growing, although I have to bring mine indoors in October! Wisconsin winters are cold!
I don't have any pets right now, our German Shepherd died a couple of years before Jim did and I just haven't been brave enough to go through all of that again.
I am disguarded like a tomato bestie
Hehehe... bestie, you crack me up!!!! Hahaha!!
We in SSG will never discard you like a tomato, @silverd510!
Fertilizer for next year!! Not necessarily discarded, just different purpose than the others!
Exactly.. they will rot and be composted right there. Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment, my dear @ladybug146! Have a great week. Take care!
I had the same thought as @ladybug146! Great ladies of ssg think alike. 😉
Yeah!!!

Oh, I love that moji of you, sis @kerrislravenhill!
I love the taste of Heirloom Tomatoes, so very tasty... and I love cooking with tomatoes too!
Did I tell you that in the past, the ladies circle I belong to would go to the fields right after the harvest, before they start prepping the fields, and we'd pick from the ground tomatoes to give away to families that need them? I know that I would only tell you these things and I seem to recall talking about it. Goodness, my memory is fading, my brain cells are deteriorating, I think, LOL!

Being mainly surrounded by corn and soybean fields, it always surprises me how much goes to waste and is culled. Where I live they usually go back and forth between the two and it is kind of funny to see a soybean field will small corn stalks popping up all over the place. Haha!
