observations from suburbia
Okay, so a BLT is not really that big a deal, and I know that it is AUGUST forgodsake so summer is officially drawing to a close, BUT, today I made the first BLT of the summer with a tomato from my own damn garden. Priceless. Absolutely Priceless.
Take that Mastercard…
I planted Tomatos on arguably the hottest day of the summer. It was probably about 6 weeks ago, my how time flies. They are now about 4 feet tall and the stakes I used to hold them up are struggling. I had one snap at a “y” in the plant. I tried to patch it up by splinting it and wrapping it with some cotton string. We’ll see. I hope the branch doesn’t die, because it has about 6 tomatos that are just getting going. I’d hate to lose them.
If I do, I may cut them open and see if I can harvest their seeds for next year. Or, they might become fried green tomatos….
My basil has been attacked by some kind of insect. The leaves are all chewed up. I think I might need to get some lime to put on them to keep the buggies away.
