Gardening. And ... yes!

I get up in the morning and the first thing on my mind is to go out and tend to the various veggies. The beans are flowering and the tomatoes are ripening and the herbs keep on herbing. Gonna pull out more potatoes in a week or so. Some rodent got to some of the lettuce recently, but not all of it. The fruit trees are having some trouble because they didn't get enough nutrients for a while, but they're getting better now and having new growth.

There's always stuff to do. The kitchen compost turns into healthy soil for the plants. A neighbor shares fruits they've been growing; I hope to give them a big pile of tomatoes in return in a few weeks. It's all good.

Sorry about your lettuce. Do you have a problem with rabbits and tomatoes? Every time I've tried to grow tomatoes they end up with one bite out of each one on the day they ripen.

I haven't seen any rabbits near here. We've got squirrels and occasional rats. Someone in the neighborhood feeds cooked peanuts (in the shell) to the squirrels, and they bury them in the garden where they become worm food.
