Our little "Better Boy" tomatoes are growing nicely here in Southwest Colorado, even with the cold front that went through last weekend.

We did manage to get them covered and protected when the evening temperatures dropped to below 31 degrees a few days ago. We counted at least six (6) little green tomatoes about the size of a small marble on this one plant. Notice all the little yellow blooms, also! Don't know if you can see them all in this photo, but maybe you can find at least four of them. We gave our plants a "Miracle Grow" bathing this week, also. Our temperatures here in the valley are warming up to the 70's and 80's the last few days, but it does cool down at night and in the shade. We shall keep you posted on their growth.

Calling all Alva High Goldbugs out there! Let us take a quiet moment to remember that one particular coach and history teacher, Coach Jack Davison. Northwest Oklahoma lost another great coach, teacher and friend this last week when the "Coach" passed on May 27, 2006 at the age of 84 years. Remember history class when we could easily get the "Coach" distracted from the history lesson and talking football? We suppose that was just another history lesson, though. That's probably why my history grades weren't so hot, though! For the life of this NW Okie, we can not remember what Coach Davison's nickname was. Does anyone, someone out there have any Coach Davison stories or remember what his nickname was?

Our best to the the Davison and Hodgden families of northwest Oklahoma for their losses this last memorial weekend!
