I think this is my last gardening email of 2009!
Updates:
- I finally planted crocus and hyacinth bulbs this morning. Yay! There is a good chance that I'm allergic to something since I haven't stopped sneezing/itching since I started planting them. This also happened on Friday in the car on the way home from buying them. Oy. Oh well, they will smell pretty in the spring - even if I won't appreciate them because my nose is so stuffed.
- The store was out of daffodil bulbs. I didn't think it was worth going elsewhere for more.
- Bulbs are dirt-cheap. Get it? "Dirt-cheap"???? Ha ha.
- I finally took down the 2nd Topsy Turvy. The green tomatoes were never going to redden. Grrr. What were other people's experiences with tomatoes in New England this summer?
- I should have brought the basil inside two weeks ago.
- I planted an old squash this morning. This is a Tony trick. Let's see if it works.
Gardening updates are boring. I need to find some Benadryl. Also, I need to make cottage cakes for my handsome husband.

My experience with tomatoes this summer was......maddening. I got these teeny tiny little pukey ones. Sometime in mid-September I gave up and dumped the plants in the "yard waste" bucket while yelling, "what good are you??". Also - what is the recipe for cottage cakes?!?!?! :)
ReplyDeleteMy experience with tomatoes this summer was that they absolutely sucked.
ReplyDeleteI ripped my plants out in Sept when it became clear that none of the tomatoes were going to ripen. They all had rot on a part of them.
Apparently laurae10 and I had similar garden frustrations.
