cassidyrose: (Harlie)
I've been cleaning out closets and trying to organize stuff. Today I was working on getting my costumes organized. In the process I found a garter I've used as a costume piece. Being evil, I decided to see what it would look like on Harlie. She just tried to eat it and I didn't have the camera ready. When [personal profile] ptor came home I told him the story and then I had Harlie model the garter again. He got a picture with his camera phone.

A few weeks ago I planted my first tomato seeds in their little start-greenhouse.  I got 12 starts, which dwindled to 9 and I didn't get as much variety as I wanted (I bought 14 varieties of heirloom seeds this year).  I had used the lid on the container which turned out to be a mistake as it got too humid and that retarded the start process.  So, I cleaned out the non-used slots and replanted some seeds and didn't place the lid on.

Holy crap.

I now have 43 starts all of which look viable.  And they are still sprouting.  Yes, we have a yard, but it's not that big.  I am going to thin them soon to get the numbers down and so that those sharing slots will have a better chance. 

But, crap, I didn't except this many. I mean, I love tomatoes and all and wish I could have forty plus plants, but that just seems a bit excessive.

We will probably invest in some containers to put on the deck so we can have even more tomato-planting space, but we will still probably have many plants that can go to good homes in a few weeks.

[personal profile] loracs? Anyone?
