The garden was happy this week…..
And this evening, the neighbor kids came up to the door and asked, “Can we see your worms?” I had given a presentation on the worm bin up at the Escondido Humane Society, and the neighbor’s kids were there for their summer day camp. I guess they were intrigued by the worms since they wanted to see them again tonight. They played with the worms for a good hour, then proceeded to demand to see my garden and picked all the ripe tomatoes out of it!
Good thing they are such cute little guys. Apparently their mom/stepmom won’t let them do science experiments, either. I can see we’re going to have to do a lot of science education with this little troop of boys! I love corrupting the neighbor kids…

Ah, those red and orange balls of creeping death! I found it ironic this year when tomatoes were (apparently wrongfully) accused of sickening people, thinking of the alleged reputation they had in the past of being “poison love apples” or some such thing. No truth then, no truth now.
Actually, there isn’t much truth around any old way.
I don’t really even buy that it’s the jalepenos, either. I still think they’re protecting Tyson’s profits myself….
Beautiful bounty!
I can beat you on tomatoes but you have the pepper battle clearly won. Good looking harvest. I still have a large container of tomato basil soup left from last weekends efforts to deal with the tomatoes.
Oh, there are LOTS more peppers than that! More tomatoes on the way, too…. salsa soon!! Yay!!
Food of the devil.
Donna,
Very pumped about your starting the Elders for Obama group. Been waiting for that. In my excitement I complimented “Darlene” who had the post next to yours on TGB. Maybe I need a “Elders for Internet Accuracy” group.
yours, naomi
Thanks, Naomi! It isn’t getting much traction yet, but we’ll see.
