Tomatoes Galore! Tales and tails of Gardening

4 Replies


Me, Pony and Shana

Shana and I went to the Master Gardener discussion on vegetables including tomatoes. We walked around Plumb Farm and saw the turkey, ponies, cow, lamb, chickens and garden out there. We didn’t realize it at the time, but we asked the Master Gardener to take our picture with Shana’s Cell phone. Right as we were squatting to get this picture, the pony turned around and pooped right by our faces. Then he turned around and we got this snapshot. It was pretty funny.

After talking about gardening again with the Master Gardener, it made me think about what to do with all those extra tomatoes I have waiting to be planted in the greenhouse. There is no way we can plant all of them (probably 20-25 planters full) unless we dug up our yard. (Which I would do if Britton would let me, but he won’t.) So I posted an ad on craigslist. We’ll see how many people come by. Hopefully all these gorgeous tomato plants will be used as fruitfully as possible.

Callie is not at the pound

Leave a reply

Cassie checked at the Humane Society and did not see Callie (aka Caliper, Califur, Trashcat, Cal Ripken Jr, etc).  So thats good.  Sometimes she does disappear for a week or so at a time.  She has multiple homes around here and I think that she gets let in to a house that has food and we don’t see her until she goes outside again.  She is really a pretty smart kitty so I think she’ll be back. 

Outage
Also we had an outage today. The power went out at the house mid-day and the computer wasn’t set to autostart.  I’ve fixed it so it automatically comes back up going forward, but if you missed us..that’s why.

Callie is missing

1 Reply

Callie has been missing for about a week. She sometimes disappears but not for longer than about 2-3 days. I know I shouldn’t worry, and she is a stray (I guess that’s why they are called that, they stray), but still, where could she be? Maybe someone else took her in their house, as a neighbor did in the past, or she is just out galavanting around. I hope so…I called the Humane Society and they told me they can’t do identifications by phone and we’d have to come in and check. The thing is that they would charge like $50 just for her get out of jail free card, (that is IF she is even there) and since she is a stray it could happen again. But…I don’t want them to euthanize her…Come back Callie, we miss you!


Callie, where are you?
