Death of a tomato
But at least I'll have vine-ripened tomatoes!
My previous entry ended like the above. To which I say, "HA!" I get a vine ripened tomato here and there, but nothing like I envisioned. I thought I'd have tomatoes growing out of my ears. I thought that I would have so many tomatoes that I'd have to give them away. I thought that I would be sick of tomatoes by now. I thought wrong. I think it's just too damn hot here to grow them.
I just don't care anymore. The leaves fry and the flowers wither. Oh well.
Okay, I started this entry like a week and 1/2 ago, but I was boring myself as I wrote it, so I kept putting it off. In short, the tomatoes have gone to the big tomato in the sky. The end.
My flower beds are doing pretty good. The Four o'clocks I planted from seed are blooming. The problem is that they can't tell time because they sure as hell don't open at that time. I just went outside and checked them now at 9 pm and some are sort of opened. My guess is that they will open at 10 pm. I need to remember to check them because I have no frigging idea what the flower looks like.
The black pansies I planted from seed also are blooming and they are cool looking. They aren't really black, but a very dark deep purple. So far I'm 2 for 2 planting by seed this year.
That's about as exciting as it gets right now. We're going down to South Padre Island next weekend and I can't wait to sit on the beach and do nothing.
