Day three of my vacation already. Yesterday I accomplished a few things. I watered the garden. I read a little from the book I am reading, 'Zappa: A Biography'. I washed dishes and did some laundry. I straightened a few cupboards in one of the kitchens, but I have much more to do. I cleaned out the main frig and defrosted the freezer in the drink frig. I also watched Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. What a fun movie!
Ashley came home from work last night with several house plants that she purchased for a dollar because they had been damaged. They actaully look very nice and I am sure we can get them to thrive.
Garden Update:
Note: I would really like to post pictures, but Ashley has been taking the pictures for me and for some reason, I have not been able to get to her pictures online. I will post pictures as soon as I am able.
We have already gotten quite a few large cucumbers which we plan to make salad dressing with soon. The vines are growing rather long and I am sure we will be canning pickles before we know it. It is a good thing too, because we just gave away our last jars of Bread n Mustard and they are quickly becoming everyone's favorite.
The yellow squash and zuccinni are producing a lot and I would guess that we will be eating those by next week.
Most of the pumpkin plants are looking very nice. However, I do not see any baby pumpkins yet.
All of the tomato plants are producing plenty of tomatoes. However, the only ones that have turned red so far are the cherry tomatoes. We are hoping for the larger tomatoes to start turning soon.
The eggplant is doing nicely as well. We have several that are blooming with fruit.
