Slackin'

Ok, apparently earning an honest income each day has put a cramp in my blogging time. I just noticed it's been two weeks since I last left a nugget of wisdom in cyberspace. That's most certainly unacceptable.

So here we go. Not sure if it will classify as a nugget "of wisdom," but it's a nugget of something, nonetheless.

As an individual who does not own a plot of land on which garden-planting would be possible, I have had to resort to a pot-garden (No -- I'm not growing marijuana -- keep up with me here, please!). Since I have what could be termed a "puce thumb," I assumed by the start of June I would have two rather heavy planters containing shriveled, brown, crusty plant skeletons. But alas! There is hope for my gardening skills after all! It is now June 12, and after many nights of covering my baby tomato plants with a bed sheet, shielding them from the ridiculous freezing temps of North Dakota, I have healthy and strong specimens to show off. Look for yourself!





They even have blossoms! My mother (who has a VERY green thumb) informed me that after I first see blossoms on my tomato plants, I should see the actual fruit of my labor approximately 60 days later. I'm counting down the days! Soon, we will have "Better Boy" and "Grape" tomatoes! Oh -- and without that lovely salmonella :)
