It's Been A really Long Day!!!

Man, am I glad today is winding down! First, it took all the willpower in my little pinky (since that's the only place I have any left) to make myself go to the shop today. Picked up my good friend Cindy and her sidekick Dallas, ( a chihuahua with the demeanor of Yoda, no jest!!) and we opened the shop, watering all the herb plants for sale and my "Bag Lady Garden". Now for those of you who have no idea of what that may be, let me enlighten you. I was watching the Today show (which I do most every day) and the ONE day I paid attention, there was a garden spot that mentioned for people who were late starting gardens or those with limited room, ( or just lazy people like me!!!), you could buy a 40 pound bag of potting soil, cut an X on one side and plant your starter plants, one per bag, and voila! instant garden, just add water and sunlight! Well as with everything in my life, I have to go overboard, and since I spend a lot of time in town at the shop I decided to do this in town along the chain-link fence across the front of my rock yard. I managed to plant 2 bags with cucumbers, 2 bags with mint, and 20, yes 20 bags of tomatoes!!! Now they are just coming on, no ripe ones yet but I believe that pretty darn soon I will have tomatoes coming out my ears and other various orifices, We'll see........ I'll post a photo after they start to ripen.....
