6 foot tomato plants and other gardening news

bad news first:

something thoroughly desecrated my lettuce and green beans.

despite the fence.

good news:

cukes are growing!

tomatoes have new and more effective housing options.

and we are happily enjoying the beginning of bounty!

birthday

why is the couch in the kitchen you ask?

so we could get these cleaned.

it was a nice part of a fun b-day.

the rest included a delicious dinner at al vento and viewing Inception with beth and hb.

delightful!

flugtag

sorry so belated. but this was a neat day!

we watched home-made "flying machines" jump off of a barge into the river.

one of them even flew!

others just fell funnily.

you can barely see the jetson's themed craft in the back of this picture, which did one of the best dance routines before launching.

it was a hot day with stunning displays of people watching.
