A nice slice of tomato!

Last week RoWan informed me that she wanted to make her own sandwich for lunch with "a nice slice of tomato", just like on her favorite TV show Caillou. Sadly, we had no tomatoes because I hadn't been to the grocery store and my first attempt at gardening has met with failure.

This is what my tomato plants look like.

This is what Matt and Michelle's tomato plants look like next door.
Where did I go wrong?!

The really amazing thing is that I have been told that everything flourishes in Iowa. You just plant things and watch them grow. No watering, no fertilizing, very little weeding. I guess there is always next year.
