]]> Tomato Blogging http://ssb.powerblogs.com/posts/1146084805.shtml Sadness. Despair. General unhappiness abounds in regards to my tomato plants.... Surly Dave 2006-04-26T20:04+00:00
***sigh***

They all came up so well. All of my beloved tomatoes. They climbed to about four inches tall, then keeled over, listless.

I've tried everything I can think of, but they just lie there.

The peppers are doing good.

The melons and pumpkins: Great!

But the tomatoes...

Right now they are on life support. The geranium lid is closed up, and right now they are basking in the healing glow of the sun. As long as there is green, there is hope.

Courage.

I took a peak this morning and the pumpkins where up, but this afternoon it looked like a jungle in the seed bed. Looking good, looking good.

I've been spending a little time with graph paper plotting out my garden space. I don't want to use the whole back yard because I'm also in the business of raising a child, but I have to make every square inch count. Seeing that I only have one child, I think I'll take down one of the swings on her swing set and replace it with some sort of hanging plant.

Hhhmmm...Does she really need the slide?
