watch my garden grow... also my car got broke
Yeah - a miscreant of some caliber decided to tune up my car's driver side window. Can't say much more other than it's part of an ongoing investigation. Stay tuned for updates.
Also it's about that time for my veggie garden to start coming in. This year I really put some time in on it. I started back in the first weekend of May. Spent the better part of a day ripping out all the nasty weeds and such that had taken over the garden beds and tilling the beds themselves. Next day I went to the garden center and picked up about 200lbs of organic humus and some basic 10-10-10 fertilizer. So far (knock on wood) I haven't had to use any kind of pesticide or anything like that so technically it's an organic garden right now. This year I decided to try out some heirloom varieties. Regular hybrid tomatoes are pretty boring so I ordered some heirloom Cherokee tomatoes from seedsavers.org. They have really taken off like mad and are actually bearing more fruits right now than the hybrids. Chalk a win up for the old school. Also these tomatoes are going to be purple when ripe. Neat, eh? I also decided to grow some heirloom peppers. Got a neat long skinny Italian sweet pepper as well as a polish variety that is more traditionally shaped but supposed to be super sweet. Everything is going to come in at once and I am really getting impatient. Take a look and be jealous.
I demand heirloom tomatoes as my bounty!
