Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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.

The status is NOT quo.

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...

drool

Mean taunter! I just need a teleporter.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

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.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

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.

I just need a teleporter.
I've been saying...

Oh, and I planted the lilliput tomato in a gallon pot cause I had one. It's also by the door so I can watch it. If it needs staking, I am there. Otherwise, I want my damn tomatoes.

I have 3 tin planters on my balcony containing a minirosebush, verbena, snapdragons, violas, alyssum, salvia and a wildly growing lemon thyme plant.

I like growing stuff.

I found a dress for the wedding. It's black with tiny white polkadots, v-wrap neck (yikes, cleavage) sundress, mid-calf length with a slight flare and 2 layers,. Trimmed with teeny white scallops. Silky fabric, may actually be, but has no labels. I need to put in a couple of tucks on account of the boobs, but it is doable.

Now how to accessorize it? I figure I'll wear my black spectatorish (?) anklestrap heels. Need to find an appropriate wrap in case the church and reception are cold. Juliana, Kat,Jesse, msbelle, anyone? You guys are good with these sorts of things.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I would suggest a pink wrap. Pink and black/white look fab together.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

Some cherry tomato plants are very big. I've had Sweet 100s get 7 feet tall, and I ended up tying them to increasingly taller stakes.

Here's information:

Tomato Lilliput F1 Hybrid. Franchi special selection. Red cherry. Very heavy crops of small round cherry tomatoes. Fruit set in clusters of 25 or so & hold well on the vine. Determinate grows to about 3 feet tall. Can be grown in a container. Early like most cherry types

So you'll need a stake or trellis that's three feet tall, and you'll need a bigger pot. I usually plant tomatoes with one of the slow-release fertilizers and then fertilize again when they start to set fruit. Tomatoes will develop roots along the stem, so you can get a better root structure if you clip off some lower leaves and plant the plant pretty deep.
