My apologies, Sophia

I must apologize to “Sophia”, one of my fellow belly dancer/gardening friends.  She bestowed upon me a few free tomato and pepper plants…and I killed two of the tomato plants.  It wasn’t entirely my fault – they were pretty gangly when I got them planted, and two bad storms back-to-back last week got the best of them.  One was snapped in half and the other just lying limp on it’s side.  I pulled the snapped-off one, but left the other, propping it up against the trellis – maybe it’ll recover.  If not, I’m sure I’ll be OK, harvest-wise.  I mourned my lost plants by buying two more at the farmer’s market! J  I brought home a lovely Caspian Pink and a Garden Peach…and Lilac bell pepper.  The poor pepper had to go in the far end of the garden, as the pepper patch is at capacity.  Eh, oh well. J 

 

The heavy rains also displaced a good portion of my mulch…I bought another 4 bags to be on the safe side.  My only garden victory this weekend – walking out of the garden supply store without buying yet another plant! J
