Tomatoes

When I planted them, I was pretty sure that Tomatoes were just about idiot proof. And, to be sure, they have been relatively simple. I just had to fertilize them with Epsom Salts and Coffee Grounds and keep them wet. Beyond that, I’m just letting them do their thing.

And, boy have they. I’ve had to prop up some of the arms of the Big Boys to keep them from sagging. I read somewhere that Tomatoes don’t turn red in temps over 80, or somewhere in there. So, when they turn a slight shade of orange, I’ve plucked them and let them turn red in the kitchen cabinet. Give me about a week, and I’ll be up to my knees in tomatoes.

I’m a bit mixed on my Morning Glory. They grew like crazy initially, especially when I got them winding their way up the posts. In point of fact, they outgrew the initial 3 foot dowels. I then put some twine on four foot bamboo posts. The flowers out grew those soon.

Since then, they have flowered. The flowers are really pretty, but they are not terribly prolific. There has only been one blossom per day. Hopefully, they’ll start to blossom elsewhere. But, on the plus side, they are really pretty.

Realization

Well, it occurs to me I'm a pathetic blogger. It has now been a month since my last post. I did want to post, but life has been rather busy.

But, I have a good deal to report and, hopefully, I can do it justice.

So, back on the saddle we go...
