What? Who's Florence? Where am I? Why are you wearing a white coat? No, I don't want an injection, thank you.

Well, OK, if you insist, I'm going to eat their offspring

By the way, the rocket and basil are starting to look good now. Nothing eatable yet though. And no tomato flowers.

Here's what my garden looks like this week, and yes; the edges of the fencing needs weed-whacking!

recluse · 06-17-2010, 07:36 PM

Hey, WT! No whacking in the weeds!
Really! A man your age.....

I have way too many weeds IN the garden. We're putting in a new irrigation dripper this week. The leaker hoses had to go. Technology that never really worked. We got the hose/pipe laid this morning. Tomorrow morning when it's below 100, I'll go and put the drippers where I want them. Yeah, I'll probably get a few wrong, but I'll get it right eventually. I hope this saves some water and STOPS watering some of the weeds.

Spent about 35 on the irrigation parts so far. That means...each of the large tomatoes harvested cost...with the chicken manure, the pump for the water barrels...*grab calculator*...About 15 dollars per tomato!!!!!

Let's hope I get some cantaloupe and watermelon to bring down the costs...

Wow, look at that!
Nice growth! That corn is lookin' good.

recluse · 06-17-2010, 09:06 PM

I got a strawberry.

kennyc · 06-17-2010, 09:22 PM

I had a whole cup full along with strawberry yogurt for lunch!

recluse · 06-17-2010, 10:35 PM

It's a good sign, I suppose. I almost forgot what that plant was.

Kenny, you are a bastard.
That's why I like you.

Gardening, these days, can cost much, much more that buying fresh fruits and veggies, but it the end, it's so rewarding! Crossing my fingers for your cantaloupes and watermelons!

Yay, for the strawberry!

In my garden - well, my balcony - I have two flowering tomato plants surrounded by arugula, two mixed flower pots and one pot of swiss chard that I should be able to start eating next week (it looks so yummy!!!). Lettuce, radishes and carrots should be planted shortly (I could'nt get around to it before) and I might plant cucumbers and peas during the weekend also.

I'm showing a profit on the whole vegetable garden thing. My sister has the garden. No one in her house eats vegetables. I get free vegetables. Simple!
This year it's tomatoes, green, orange and red peppers and eggplant.

Stitchawl · 06-18-2010, 01:14 AM

I sacrificed one dill plant to last night's dinner and this morning's breakfast.
Last night German saurkraut and Nurenbergerwurst with apples and dill, this morning some nice smoked salmon with capers and dill with our morning rice! One plant well eaten!

I didn't pull the plant. I want to see if it re-grows enough to get another meal out of it.

Spent a lot of today in the front area that use to be my lawn. I am moving the dirt by shovel to even out the area. My 17 month old was playing in the dirt while I was shoveling away. She started to giggle so I went over to her to see what she found. She had a little baby beetle in her hand and was playing with it. I went for my cell phone to take a picture of it to send to her mom but before I got a chance to she smushed it.

At least I got to her before she decided to pop it in her mouth.
