Your Tomato and Garlic Specialists

Ha. In my last entry, I noted that I'd have lots of cardoons, barring any unforeseen disasters. You'd think those disasters would be more foreseen by now. Crappy potting mix is the probable culprit.

Anyway, I've taken to referring to this year as the "lost season". Because it pretty much is. I've been doing increased freelance writing, tearing the living bejeezus out of our old house (hopefully putting it back together someday), suffering from a terribly painful lower-back ailment and shuttling kids around between here and there.

But the tomatoes are thriving. The garlic is thriving. I had a teensy amount of flooding, but they pretty much survived that. So I will basically be nothing more than a tomato and garlic farmer this year. Not that those two crops won't keep me busy, as I have a pretty good selection of varieties among them.

So stay tuned for more info on tomatoes and garlic. Available SOON! A month or so, anyway.
