I Ain’t Got Nothin’

Nothing really new to tell from the Northwoods.

Unless you want me to go on and on about my gardens (which I don’t think you would).

Well, since you insist, they are doing quite well thankyouverymuch.  Except for the blight on the tomato plants that’s pissing me off royally.  You spend all that time growing the little buggers from seed, and when you take them out into the real world crap attacks them!

I mean, they had a nice environmentally stable greenhouse where they received the right amount of water, sun and warmth.  Grow them big and strong and then gently plant them in their new home and reality hits, which this year was an early Spring (YAY) followed by nice temperature to heat their little root systems (which helps them grow nice and strong) and then BAM!  Hit them with unending amounts of rain that do not give them enough time to dry out which in turn causes the stupid fungus that is chipping away at them every so slowly and painfully.

WAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

*sniff*

So I mixed together an organic spray that I’m hoping (crosses fingers and toes and walks funny) will be their salvation.  If not, well, I guess I’m gonna have to make a deal with the manager at the farm for a butt ton of tomatoes that I can can.  (Can can….get it?… hehehe…)  Ahem, sorry.

In other garden news, everything else seems to be doing fantabuloso.  I canned my first pint of pickles over the weekend (in a normal season that would happen in August).  Wowzers.
