The Prophet Said to Plant a Garden

Which in East El Paso means a raised or container garden, with veggies that can survive ten-jillion degree heat.

So I have some tomatoes, all ready to go. They have been slow-turning, but there was finally one perfect one, gorgeously red, waiting to be picked. Last night I thought I would leave it on the vine for a few more days, just to plump up a tiny bit more.

And WockyBoy ate it for breakfast.

He plucked it off and ate it.

The FIRST TOMATO.

Which leaves me to believe that President Kimball didn't have a humpy miniature Schnauzer.

Well, his LEGAL name is RocketDog J. Simpson, but Jooj has claimed him as her own. And as you will soon find out, the baby takes over everything you ever owned.

Um... I need to do this. Plant a garden. But I have a really bad thumb. It just brings plants home to die...and there is the problem of dirt and bugs... neither of which feels good on my skin. ;-) I'm a wimp I know. So I am in awe of anyone who gardens...and actually grows stuff.

I don't even LIKE tomatoes, but I feel bad for yours. He didn't get a proper pickage or eatage. You're the BEST.

I TOTALLY thought about you, W and Jooj tonight at the Mariners game (we left when they were losing, then they ended up winning). We talked to Soldier Fucci while in line to get pics with the Mariner Moose, told him THANKS.

Love, me

It might be time to take a hit out on the dog, I'm just saying.

Tomatoes are icky. Except on pizza as sauce. Or in lasagna. Or in Salsa. Otherwise they're icky. They should never be eaten like apples.

didn't you know that this was a blessing? the prophet said plant a garden with things you should eat. you're refining your skills here because as dastew says 'tomatoes are icky.' and now you can move onto something better like bell peppers that are yummy.
