Yes a little tiny green tomato ...actually I JUST counted 3 tiny green ones

We planted for the first time peas as a trial..no luck the plant dried out due to our extreme heatwave twice.I sort of knew it would not do well.

Oh, yeah. I have one drawer full of rarely worn undergarments like the strapless bra and the full length slip. I also have a pair of long black gloves... the ones that go over the elbow. They were my moms.

I am telling myself they are just late bloomers and I will have lots in the fall.
First year! That's great. I'm sure she'll be planting next year.

I hadn't considered that because the break was at least 6" above soil level. After doing some reading, I realized that is possible because some of them are climbers.

I realize that I didn't post photos, but I still think it was probably an animal. The break wasn't clean, horizontal, and a couple of branches were bent at the stem.

Something plucked out my baby zucchini and left the plants on the ground to dry up and die. What could it have been?

I have seen crows go down a row of corn that has just started to germinate to eat the swollen seed kernal.....I dont know if they leave the seedling or not. I wonder if some bird liked the sprouted zucchini seeds, but not the plant itself. ??????

That would just about kill me to have some animal EAT my vegetables! grrrrr.

I live by a beach (horrible in winter so don't get jealous, lol) so there are no trees and few animals to get into the tiny garden I have. Of course there could always be insects. Fingers crossed.

I'm pleased to report that the Charlie Brown tomato plant is doing well and looking pretty perky. The stem and 2 1/2 branches are firm. The leaves look good. It looks better than the mother plant! I'm really happy about this.
