I have caught the squirrels eating the pears
off the pear tree, and when I dug up
my potatoes I found several buried
pecans trying to grow. I think I know
how they got there. But the other day
I realized Molly's sunflower was all
droopy because (and I'm assuming here)
a squirrel sat on the fence and ate
all the seeds out of it. All those shells
on the ground are empty. My tomatoes
still going strong.
First of all, I have to point out something you may have already deemed obvious. I'm not good at titles. I've always hated it. I didn't want anyone to think that I didn't already know. No need to be polite. :)
I'm sorry I skipped yesterday, I went school clothes shopping and I finished up a certain baby shower gift. And I played Frontierville. (Why can't I stop?)
I'm really amazed at my tomato harvesting. I've had to tie up the plants because the cages are falling over. I also cut the ends off of the plants because the won't stop growing and blooming. It's insane. I made spaghetti sauce and used the leftover for pizza sauce and it was SOOOOO good.
I don't want to go into any details, since the, technically, the whole world can read this, but I am SOOOO tired of drama. It's not as bad now that I don't actually get upset, and I know there's nothing I can do about it anyway, but I'm still tired of it. I just want to enjoy myself and my loved ones. I don't want to be involved in conflict. Sigh! Okay, I feel better now.
Here's a picture of my biggest tomato so far.
I am writing this on Tuesday night. I was so tired yesterday that I went to bed at ten. I do not remember a thing until 7:00 a.m. when I woke to the sound of a city employee banging on my door. I had to move my car out of my driveway because the water main broke right in front of my house.
I have gotten quite a bit on my to do list done, but not as much as I wanted, as you can tell if you were to check my etsy site. I have plans for it. I really, really do.
My garden is doing pretty well. I pick a handful of green beans every other day and after a week I have enough to steam for a meal. Yay! Molly's sunflower is starting to flower now, but the flower is pointed to the east of course, which is the fence. :) That's why they call them sunflowers I guess. I picked three tomatoes today. I think I am going to puree them and freeze them to make spaghetti sauce with this fall. I read an article about that BPA stuff they put on the inside of the cans and I thought it would be good to avoid them when I can.
I'd have taken a picture of the garden, but the batteries are dead in the camera.
Let's try for a more productive Wednesday! Yay!
Thus ends the month of June.
