I knew we had different gardening schedules than the rest of the US, but I didn't realize just how different....<br /><br />Apparently our summer growing season is DONE by mid-June. I've been planting our tomatoes mid-March, in the anticipation of growing them through June and July. I should be planting them in the first dang week of January and harvest will be over by early June. Then I plant them again in late August, for a fall crop. Evidently the only time we don't plant and harvest things are the months of December, January, June, July, and August. Weird, huh?anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03993158642184311825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36612182.post-76709646663804884372010-09-27T12:49:11.717-06:002010-09-27T12:49:11.717-06:00I have to echo Annie, we got a measly FOUR tomatoe...I have to echo Annie, we got a measly FOUR tomatoes also!!! On a total of 5 vines, that's it. I was very disappointed. <br /><br />Have you tried putting his cage down where he could get into it? My brother lost his hamster once and that's how we caught him, he was trying to get back to his food dish... That is a bummer, though. <br /><br />Very interested in the rabbits. My grandmother raised them and we ate them quite often when I was younger. I didn't realize it until one fateful Sunday at lunch when someone said what we were eating. I think I could handle it now, haha.MamaJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06640267511810411108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36612182.post-46576500338099758722010-09-27T10:08:50.263-06:002010-09-27T10:08:50.263-06:00I can't believe your tomatoes are having such ...I can't believe your tomatoes are having such a hard time! I'd think they'd love that sunshine. Is it the dirt maybe?<br /><br />I don't think you replied to that email... At least, I don't recall it, and can't find it in my inbox (you don't want to know how many old ones ARE in there though!).EllaJachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17937838823211562533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36612182.post-14445585277676759072010-09-27T08:45:26.268-06:002010-09-27T08:45:26.268-06:00I truly hope you're being sarcastic with your ...I truly hope you're being sarcastic with your 'paltry' 26 quarts of tomatoes comment. We got FOUR tomatoes. Not gallons, quarts, or even pints. Just four tomatoes. <br /><br />I'm so sorry for Big Sister and her hamster. That's so sad. <br /><br />Sage and white sound about like the colors we'd like to paint the exterior of our house. One day. When we have time and/or money. House paint is stupidly expensive. Or, at least, more than I think I should have to pay. <br /><br />I hope this comment makes it through. Did I ever reply to your email from like three months ago?anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03993158642184311825noreply@blogger.com
