My little garden has been just that, a little bit of nothing except a token offering here and there. I told my husband I'm not doing a garden here in AZ again, but will wait until we move back to Florida. Instead, I'll come to your blog and drool over your corn, fantasize about the tomatoes, and otherwise envy all the goodies you're reaping.

Or, you know, 85 days +/- from when you planted them. ;)<br /><br />claudia - Start that compost pile now and you WILL be ready for next year.<br /><br />Decca - I'm going to rename the blog "Smut-filled Godless Diatribe". Thanks :)<br /><br />Anon - I love you, too - Anonymous Johnny Cracks Corn Knower.<br /><br />Kris - I *was* very excited to shuck my corn last night. I feel like the composter was excited, too. What is this late blight fiasco I keep hearing about? Is this from the contaminated tomato plants?? Too scary.<br /><br />Sara - How do you do it?<br /><br />Katie Jean - A slingshot. Get a slingshot. Get excited for your corn - that's awesome! This is the first time I've even picked corn and THAT was exciting. My life is, apparently, a bit dull.<br /><br />Kara - If my dad were here, he'd thunk us both on the head and tell us to "BEHAVE."<br /><br />Lady Lino - Hello stranger! I do believe you should stun your neighbors with balcony crops. They'll forgive you the second you drop off a basket of tomatoes. Promise.<br /><br />curegirl - That's how we should all look. Vegs are sexy.<br /><br />Wendy - Extreme, but not foolish. I wouldn't say people *need* beds, but I do swear by mine. It lets me be super A/R with the soil and, plus, it's all nice and neat. Which I like. Because I'm super A/R.<br /><br />Lisa - You're right - too much water. Not sure how you're doing your watering right now, but I'd scale back to 1-2 deep soaks per week (2 if it's a hot week, 1 if it's a mild week) and see if that doesn't solve your problemo. Otherwise, maybe they're haunted?FinnyKnitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08813175777047535103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15363790.post-19291656820666171012009-07-30T13:30:37.624-07:002009-07-30T13:30:37.624-07:00Hey Fin, any idea why my tomaotes have cracks in t...Hey Fin, any idea why my tomaotes have cracks in them?

Also, you tomatoes are gorgeous, but they also make me soooo envious. A stupid woodchuck has been eating every single one of my almost red tomatoes. I just can't seem to keep him out.

I have been known to pick an ear, shuck it, and eat it raw right there in the garden, so I understand the corn excitement.<br /><br />Also, it looks like this is going to be YOUR year of the tomato. I would offer to come out to help you can your bounty, but I think you can handle it. Plus, I may have a few of my own to deal with. Assuming my plants don't succumb to the dreaded Late Blight that's sweeping the Northeast.

Don't you know that children may stumble upon it and become overstimulated by your oh-so-phallic vegetables with their turgid menace and round, breast-like orbs.
