My pleasure, Ladies!

I plan on mowing the lawn today until the gasoline runs out (we forgot to take the gas can with us on our rounds, yesterday) and if the weather looks like it will hold, get some, or ALL of my tomatoes in the ground.

I panicked, yesterday! It was overcast and cool when we left at 9am so I neglected to open up the greenhouse. We were away longer than planned (ran into friends - blah, blah, blah, yack, yack, yack) and were gone for 6 hours. Of course, the clouds cleared and the greenhouse heated up. My poor tomatoes were all WILTED when we got back. I actually SCREAMED when I was in there, LOL! But, after a good long drink of well water, they seem to be OK.

I would’ve been so MAD at myself had my ‘babies’ been harmed! ;)

Isn’t that what these plants all are, our babies? It’s like precious children that we take great pains to nurture and protect so that we can watch them grow up to maturity.
