look

I killed a grand total of 11 tomato worms during a two day period. Everytime I pass the earth box in my driveway I look. I cut out the leafless stems and now can see way down to the bottom of the plants. If I see any new leafless stems I will be able to see at a glance if those ugly giant worms are at it again. So far I have picked five wonderful tomatoes. None of them made it into the house for use on a bacon and tomato sandwich. The vines are now 4' instead of the 5' and still growing look but I learned a lesson.

We are going into the prime season for blooming roses, delightful colors and scents. I will have to admit that I do not seem to have a green thumb when it comes to growing roses. I can grow some of the smaller shrub roses but when it comes to the big beautiful hybrids, well I have killed two. I rode down several streets in our fair city and we have some very talented rose growers. All I can say, they look beautiful. Enjoy.
