Still round the corner there may wait |
Home is behind, the world ahead, |
Doncha hate it when people can't use the language properly? :)
IIRC I set mine out earlier than you did. Plus it's been warmer and we've had more rain here.
It's a cross we must bear...
Thanks Bear! You really are amazing!
Funny thing is, that happened almost a year and a half ago and that guy STILL stares at me! He is one weird cookie.
After that happened, and before I went back to Sunday School (Steve did go back, I stayed home for a few weeks), Steve talked to the guy and told him not to ever approach me again. And he never has. However, every time I see him, from across a room or anything, he's just STARING at me! Not mean-looking or anything...just very intently. I pointed it out to Steve and he even notices it now.
Celeste thinks it's because he's never encountered anyone quite like me. LOL
What beautiful produce! Congrats!
The birds kept getting our tomatoes...year after year. This year we took a hint from the Square Foot garden and made PVC pipe frames and covered the entire tomato plants with bird netting! The jedis have a little access door they can get into and they stored their weapons stash under these hugh tomato plants...you can't even see them when they are up in the plants!! You can just make out their guns sticking out.
It's called a "grill." :)
I love reading back over the old threads...

When I was attending an Open Church, we had a smallish group ~ avg attendace 15-20. We had the chairs in a circle, had followed the liturgy (on Sunday mornins). HOWEVER, on Saturday and on Sunday evenings, it was completely different. Same people, different format. The preacher was no longer the "head", but merely the one who got things going. He would play the guitar (we didn't have a keyboard/piano), the songs were on the overhead, and he would teach it to us if it was new. Then he would bring up a topic of discussion (in the place of a sermon) and using the Bible as the primary source, we would discuss and learn from each other. It was Spirit-led discussion, which in many churches is not only unusual, but not very welcome either. In layman's terms I might call it congregation participation, but I really like the term *discussion* because it paints a picture of question and answer.
Here in WA, I guess we barely know how to ~spell~ summer.
This is the main tomato bed...it's got a frame on it that is 5 feet tall, 4 feet wide and 10 feet long. The bird netting is over it and tee-peed up in the middle.
This is the 'maters that are in it...these tomatoes will be bright yellow.
This is our Sweet 100s...we have a BUNCH of them but Joshua crawls up in there and eats them as soon as they get ripe.
Now this is our secondary tomato bed...not as big or nice as the other but is doing ok...
OK! you win! ~grins~
***grins***
Mine are lucky to get three hours of sun, with all these trees. We grow trees real well here. ;~D
ROFLOL
Yours look good though...I noticed 'em when I was there...
Great looking tomatoes, we've had one, the birds got one, the rest, well, they appear to be resting. Guess it's been cool enough they haven't felt it necessary to grow. Think the cool is over for a while.
Actually producing tomatoes appears to be just a hobby for my 'maters as well ;~D
