Seriously Stupid. Tomato Cages are. And the result of such stupidness is such an embarrassment I am not even going to post a photo. Really now. These heritage variety tomatoes we planted this year were So Huge, the shear weight and size of them toppled the "cages" over weeks ago. And here I am, attempting to harvest the last of summer goodness, by untangling the web of tomato vines from each other, sadly observing the sorry sight of the mound of forgotten tomatoes, lost and rotting, on the ground beneath said cages.
So, next year, I'm doing THIS. Seriously, Sophia at the www.joyoffarming.blogspot.ca has it Going On.
Enough of the other nonsense. Tomato Cages. I fart in your general direction.
Oh, and by the way? My List? Not bad. Passports applications are complete, awaiting pick up of photos. Garlic was totally planted, then we decided to pick up some Yugoslavian bulbs today to add to the German and Russian already in the ground. The plum tree has been thoroughly raided and plums are frozen and/or dried. "Beep" is being transitioned; in that she is starting to spend her nights in a slightly cooler room of the house, but is not yet outside. Elderberry Syrup? Check. Roosters? We are currently finishing them on organic boiled potatoes (I dunno, I read that somewhere), garden gleanings and black sunflower seeds (recommended by a friend).
Tomatoes? Well... See Above.
