Tomatoes Galore! Tales and tails of Gardening


Me, Pony and Shana

Shana and I went to the Master Gardener discussion on vegetables including tomatoes. We walked around Plumb Farm and saw the turkey, ponies, cow, lamb, chickens and garden out there. We didn’t realize it at the time, but we asked the Master Gardener to take our picture with Shana’s Cell phone. Right as we were squatting to get this picture, the pony turned around and pooped right by our faces. Then he turned around and we got this snapshot. It was pretty funny.

After talking about gardening again with the Master Gardener, it made me think about what to do with all those extra tomatoes I have waiting to be planted in the greenhouse. There is no way we can plant all of them (probably 20-25 planters full) unless we dug up our yard. (Which I would do if Britton would let me, but he won’t.) So I posted an ad on craigslist. We’ll see how many people come by. Hopefully all these gorgeous tomato plants will be used as fruitfully as possible.

Daisy Style for the Ween Concert

On the poll, “Daisy Style” won by a landslide. In case you were wondering what some of the “others” were, we had two blanks, and two write-ins: Yourself, and Red to wear my sexy red shoes. I was actually hoping that Daisy would win because we have so many daisies in our backyard right now that I wanted to do something with them.

When I saw that Daisy was probably going to win, I thought about how I could use them. I thought of a daisy chain necklace or possibly pinning them into my hair. Then I decided I was going to wear a flower garland in my hair. Then, I looked in my hair supply drawer and found a headband that would work perfectly.

In case you ever want to try this out, it was extremely easy. I did it on my lunch break yesterday.
1) Gather the daisies, leave about 2 inches of stem. Depending on the look, pick flower sizes accordingly.
2) Lay the daisies out in the order you want them placed.
3) Insert into the headband starting with the middle and working outword.

4) Add water and refrigerate until use.

5) Add a flowery dress, some accessories and Voila! Daisy girl!


Also added some daisy earrings

The concert was pretty fun. I didn’t know very many songs compared to Britton and it was super hot in there. It was basically an old hangar that was converted into a theatre and it felt like there was no air conditioning at all. We were sweating, and my poor daisies only lasted about an hour in there before wilting. When we first got there some girl came up and hugged me when she saw the daisies. (Yes, There were a lot of hippies!) We went out to Buca Di Beppo for dinner and that was pretty fun too. Overall, a great kickoff for my birthday. Thanks everyone for voting!! 🙂
