Tomatoes

We have an unusually abundant crop of tomatoes this year. Apparently our forest friends have no desire to feast upon this plant. All tomatoe plants remain intact with lots of tomatoes. We do have a concern. They are green, all of them and the Vermont nights are getting cooler, dropping to below 50 degrees. We would like them to redden on the vine but we may, in the end, find ourselves with an abundance of paper bags lined up in the house doing the job that the garden did not. We will see.

Here is a pictorial of the many kinds of tomatoes we grew.

Warm Regards,

Cosmos

We love our Cosmos. They are so bright, happy, and colorful that they make outstanding, although wild-looking arrangements for the house.

 And we're told deer hate them. We made Cosmos a border plant surrounding our garden and so far, not a hoof mark has been found in our garden soil.

Warm Regards,

Betty

A New Friend

In our garden this year, we have discovered many forest friends. They have eaten multiple rows of peas and greens. We have patiently replanted and they have enjoyed yet another delectable bountiful feast.

Today, we discovered our first domesticated new friend. He or she was spotted perched upon a fence post. We dont know the Cats name.

We don't where he or she lives but we can see that they find our garden quite comfortable and have even claimed a perch for themself. He or she sat still enough for a close-up photo. We will have to inquire of the neighbors so that we may address this new friend correctly.

Warm Regards,

Betty

Yellow Daisies

There are few things in life as happy as yellow daisies. Ours are just beginning to bloom. They are wonderful cut in vases for the dinner table, wonderful in masses in the garden.

I wish you a bountiful Daisy-filled season.

Warm Regards,

Betty
