The Gardens and the stalker
Finally the gardens are planted. If I could just stay away from them for a wee while, I am sure they would do much better. Today I was pruning brand new plants (why? they are new plants) to get rid of any part of the whatever plant wasn’t prefect. I killed a perfectly fine Russian tomato plant. I was clipping off a lower leaf because it had a little yellow around the edge and clipped in too far and snapped the whole top of the plant off. What a jerk! If anyone else had done that to my perfectly fine tomato plant that had three tiny tomatoes on it - I would have ripped their head off!!! I was so angry at myself that I just left the poor lame plant to die a slow death in the baking hot sun. When I finished my Pilates and a short meditation I went out and got that sad little tomato plant and put it into a glass of water with a bit of plant food. Just maybe it will come back to life and grow some roots or at the very least not have such an agonizing death. Good thing we are going away for four days - keep this monster away from the garden!
