Bountiful !

This wicker is a find.  Someone was throwing it out last week, and I claimed it.  I couldn't fit everything in the car, but I did get two other tables.  They have to be white washed to get it really sparkling.

I did get some spray paint, but dang that stuff is toxic !

 That little face is Cush.  He's 10 years old.  He rules the nest.  

As you can see I have a tomato, but only one.  I don't know why.  That red thing is actually a Bell pepper.  It's going to be yellow.  That's what the stick says anyway.

I want to know why my bounty is so small.  Is it because they are in pots?  Maturity should be at 65-70 days....they've been planted for about a month and a half.  I want more fruit!

I bet they are tired of me looking at them so hard every few hours during the day.

There's also a Roma tomato plant and as you can see a Basil plant, which Harmony (the dog) loves.  I've got a few onions there as well.  So maybe we'll just get one meal, one fabulous salad, but at least we will have something to eat.

Bounty bound !

Breathe Life Into this Thing !

OK already, I apologize.  Sometimes life throws us curves and forces us to focus somewhere else for a little while.  I wouldn't dare be so presumptuous as to think that folks were missing me, or my photos....but just in case you were.  I do heartily apologize.

I have a pepper plant, a tomato plant and a few onions planted.  This is the fruit of my labor (which is not much at all...except for the talkings to, the daily sprays and watering that I give to them).  I don't have a backyard, so there all in planters. 

 I talk to and look at my plants all the time, and this little interloper was not there last night...so I guess via the moon she made her entrance into my world.  How did she find her way to my terrace ? 
This is many times just like our lives, we do what we think is correct and still there are blotches and borers.  These past few days I've been feeling like there was such a weight on my shoulders.  I'm doing everything that I should be doing and with a smile.  Mostly it's all good, but then....in comes this thing that you didn't invite.  It's nothing that I can't get past just like the worm, I'll just lovingly move it away. 
As my plants grow, they'll meet other pests as I know in my own little life I'll meet other challenges; uninvited challenges.  This much is true, they can't stay.  My vines are going to grow into fruition just the same as my life will.

Peace
