The weather here has been dry. And I say this having tried a container garden for the first time this year. Next year I need probably six containers per vegetable to get a good yield. We have two red cherry tomatoes in the fridge and about four green still on the plant but I had no idea how long they would take to ripen. Also some sort of hose would be good, too, so I don't have to keep refilling our two gallon watering can over and over.
The Arizona rose bloomed twice and then nothing. The yellow rose from last year is hanging in there but no blooms yet. The brave hibiscus blooms occasionally and not as prolific as last year, but its leaves are still green and it hasn't up and died on me yet. I was contemplating putting it in our large planter which needs something to brighten it up, but I'm concerned if I transplant it there would be root damage, etc. I don't dare check the other two roses in the side yard that have been just green dead cane since I brought them home. Maybe they have sprouted leaves from sheer apathy. Oh phooey.
I am constantly in the mood to make something foody - cheese or preserves or bread or something - but alas, really no inspiration. School finished up about two weeks ago, and aside from the foreboding feeling that I've still constantly got homework due, I suddenly have all this free time and no idea what I should be doing with it all.
A rather disjointed entry, I know. This is what happens when I'm out of writing practice, and I told myself I'd be nanoing this month but obviously that hasn't happened. I need to upload photos to my computer and then perhaps I'll get a real entry together, with more frequency than once a month.
