Harvest 7.30.14

Got a few tomatos, hurrah!

A Visit at Last

OK - I admit it. Given all the renovations at home, I neglected to visit the garden for over two weeks. Today when I finally arrived, I found four large fatty rabbits on my lot. Dinner anyone?

At least now I know that I have my work cut out for me for the weekend. Nonetheless, the garden did keep going and growing even without me. I found a baby green pepper on the pepper plant. The tomato plants doubled in size. The Lilly is almost in bloom.

Tragedy in the Garden

Dismembered Tomato 5.12.14

I have had a number of losses in the community garden since becoming a member. Notably, when you have a plot of land in the middle of a city it is not surprising to see homeless folk, students, as well as furrier vagrants. Yesterday, I went to the garden and discovered that someone had cut most of the branches off from the four tomato plants I put in last week. The cuts appear to be at an angle which makes me fear that these were done by other  gardeners looking to root a "cutting" of the plant.  It sickens me to think that a fellow gardener would do such a thing.
