And I, alone, am left to tell the tale...

The summer comes, and starts the dandelion whine.
The summer ends, and finishes the dandelion wine.

Have a beer!

[Jeff Dutton]

Hear, hear!

In the absence of a home-grown tomato Caprese Salad icon, i offer you popcorn with your beer!

On which note, I have two actual three-inch tomatos turning orange. :Hooray: Now if I can find a bit of fresh mozzarella and some nice basil.... :mm:

[piqaboo]

We've now harvested about 2/3 of the years tomato crop,enjoying some delicious BLTs and caprese (the latter with storebought basil,. grrr)

The new basil seedlings are up. Mozz you can get at the PC.
I'll probablyhave basil to harvest by the time your termaters turn red.

The beefsteak grew two - 1 fell while green and ripened in teh window sill. I picked the other yesterday. 2 total yellow tomatoes, not a great taste so wont repeat this variety. Finally got the first midsized non-EarlyGirl- cant remember the variety - am axiously awaiting it. Early Girls stunningly consistent in size.

The orange peppers (grown from the leftovers of last Xmas's vegie tray from Costco) are yummy.

Cilantro coming up again, and either thyme or oregano (Darn it, I forot to label the pots).

so Pumpkin's daycare class planted green bean seeds early in the summer and we were presented the seedlings a couple of weeks later. When I was putting in my experimental beds (nothing but weeds growing in that part of the lawn - I piled up some of last fall's leaves for a couple of weeks, then dumped soil on top), we planted the green beans. A few weeks ago I saw a couple of beans - half eaten. Yesterday - there were about 15-20 off the two plants and not yet eaten! Will have them for dinner tonight! The green bean plants are the biggest things in my little plots (suffocated a geranium)...maybe I'll just plant beans there next year...

"Cool beans!"

Altoid "helped" yesterday. She and I were planting her bday present from Gma (marigolds) and Altoid decided to "cultivate" the baby carrot and thyme seedlings. Sigh. She only nuked about 1/5 of each. How to explain which dirt is ok to dig in and which dirt isnt?
She's really good about keeping "her" plants watered. She now has two dusty millers and the 6 new marigolds. Im terrified she'll figure out what that hoe of hers is good for!

Alone! Alone! All, all, alone!
Alone on the bulletin board.
Waiting. Waiting patiently,
for the rest of our music-loving horde.

But we thought you were busy today!

[Shapley]

I am, but not as busy as I thought I would be. I'm waiting for some information to arrive, and left twiddling my thumbs (more or less) in the meantime.

And... I notice that you've not ventured a try at the new 30Q. It's mostly just been two of us playing cat-and-mousemando...

Sorry Shap, but I have a trademark on the "mando", so you cannot use it to form the world mousemando.

Quiet board today.......

I'll go look for a 'Happy Thanksgiving' thread, since it is on Monday in Canada. (closest looking emoticons to slicing the turkey)

I don't think so... We've discussed the mando-lin on this thread long before you came cattin' around.
