Natter 36: But We Digress...
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Happy Birthday, Frank!
Boo on the pants, Cass. What's up with
that?
This, however, might be the best thing ever. I love baths. My bath caddy can hold bath goodies, a book, a candle and a glass of wine. A few more candles scattered about the room and my iPod and I am set for a nice long soak. My tub is original to the house (1928) I think and very deep and long. Also cast iron. Takes two fills of dinky old hot water heater to get a nice bath but it holds the temperature beautifully once filled.
Jealous now. I am leaving my lovely CT tub for a place with no bathtub at all, just a shower stall.
The guy at the farmer's market told me last Sunday when I bought it but I must have tuned out. Something about training it? I need the hivemind obviously.
You'll need a little trellis thingy for it to grow on. As it grows, you'll need to weave it through the trellis thingy so it won't fall down. There may be more involved, but I know that much.
I need to eat something.
Trust me, the pants were a temporary thing. I am now in a 15-year old tshirt -0000000 [kittenish just typed with her feet...], The Cure's Prayer tour.
Your CT tub is a lovely lovely thing. Will you keep that massive scone-y thing? If I relocate the nude painting in my bathroom, I could offer temp housing if you needed. Yeah, shameless.

Okay I remember him saying something about this now. I have a trellis kind of thing that I bought for the jasmine, but it started weaving itself in the window and I got lazy. Should I plant the tomato in a big pot or can I attempt to put it in the really bad soil around here? I think it is supposed to stay sort of smallish. Or give me little tomatoes. Something about it is small. Tag says "lilliput cherry tomato."
Go and eat something, Kristin.
Cherry tomatoes are small. Don't know about cherry tomato plants.
I just realized I can get take out from the Uno's up the street. YUM.
The big swirly thing is staying here for now, you shameless thing you! Hee. You're funny.

I would definitely put it in a big pot with good potting soil. Be sure you feed it as well as watering it, and it will grow pretty tomatoes for you.

The problem is that I don't feel like driving more than ten miles or so, but I also don't feel like eating alone. Since my local friends and family appear to be off having
lives
or something, I've thus far managed only to eat a single slice of processed American "cheese".
Okay, so I need a new big pot then. And some more planting soil for it. My current mega-pots have a tangle of orange bergamont mint in one and a pixie-ish bouganvilla in another. So I am buying, and then planting, tomorrow.

Thanks, Jesse. He had some "samples" of the tomatoes that this variety will grow and they were normal-sized cherry tomatoes so I am thinking maybe the plant just stays kinda small. I love real tomato flavor.
but I also don't feel like eating alone
Hmm... Wait a few weeks and come here for lunch? I shall have home-grown tomatoes, home-grown basil and Trader Joe's supplies my fresh mozzarella needs. I also have farmer's market pesto if that lily needs any additional gilding...
Reminds me, I am hungry. And not likely to wait six weeks to eat, either. I need to find food.
I should try to grow something someday... I mean, shit, at least herbs in a pot or something. I finally had a plant thrive under my care at my old job, so I know longer feel like the plant slayer.
And am very excited to go pick up pizza skins shortly, as I have had a ridiculous craving for them for WEEKS. Well, I've been wanting regular potato skins, but the Uno's dealies are the closest to home.

Mean taunter! I just need a teleporter.
I have basil and parsley growing in pots, and it's way more work than it needs to be. Those suckers need an assload of watering to stop them from pouting. Not sure if it's worth it.
Cherry tomato plants are very small. Vine types might need staking, but the ones a grew a few years ago didn't.
My vacuum cleaner broke while madly cleaning. I am not having a fun day.
the Uno's dealies
They have this toast thing with cheese and arugula on it that is nummy.
Growing stuff isn't always hard. Herbs in a pot can be fun to grow.
And I, personally, can pimp mint as being quite ignorance friendly. I abandon mine at random times and most of it just keeps on making more baby mint plants. Great stuff.
Basil pouts like a teen queen. Mine is by my door, so I can see it when it gets all melodramatic.
My sage either thrives or dies, there is no middle ground for it. But I have no idea why.
Never tried parsley. It's too cheap at the market.
