Dusting off the green thumb

Anyone want some fresh-grown tomatoes?


We'll be having tomatoes-aplenty at the nickarmadillo homestead in the coming months.  There's a whole 24 plants sprouting out of those plastic containers!  Good thing I love tomatoes, right?

Oh, wait....

I LOATHE tomatoes with every fiber of my being!

You might ask yourself, "What would motivate a man who despises tomatoes so deeply to plant this many of them?"

Well, my girlfriend is a huge fan.  However, she's snuck off to England and left me on caretaker duty for these vile vegetables (or fruits, depending on who's asked).

I hope and pray that they will either wait to ripen up until her return or my lovely friends and neighbors can take a few home when they're ready.  Otherwise we might have a big pulpy mess on our hands.


What I am looking forward to are the carrots, strawberries, zucchini, parsley, and peas.  There's nothing better than sliced and barbecued zucchini with olive oil, ground pepper, and a sprinkle of salt.  I'll use any excuse I can to get the grill out!




Rabbits take notice: We're on to you.  We know what you did to our poor evergreen saplings and have beefed up security around this joint.  Just try getting through these Clampett-inspired fences!
