I’m on a rollercoaster…

We’ve officially started hunting for Our First Home. I know this isn’t news to anyone who already owns a home, but one day I’m cool as a cucumber and the next I’m freaked out. We’ll be looking at lots and lots and lots of houses in the coming months. I have a feeling I’m going to have to promise my husband I won’t cry in despair every time we walk into a less than stellar house. So far, so good.
My garden is doing so-so. Two of my bean plants mysteriously shriveled up and died, and instead of trying to salvage them, I decided to focus all my bean-nurturing efforts on the remaining two plants. I’ve also decided to give up on my tomatillo and regular tomato plants. I think I need a better spot to grow those two in. My cherry tomato plant is still a champ, though. My peppers are doing well, too. Yay!
First tomato harvest
January 19, 2009 at 7:43 am | In South Florida living, Tomatoes | Leave a CommentIn January! Yes, that’s right. My midwestern mind is slowly getting used to the warm South Florida winters. I harvested 11 cherry tomatoes yesterday. They looked so nice in the bowl, but we gobbled them up before I had a chance to take a picture. They were so good and so fresh, and I feel a sense of accomplishment because this tomato plant isn’t dead yet.
Alligators and tomatoes
January 6, 2009 at 3:21 pm | In South Florida living, Tomatoes | 1 CommentWe had a great Christmas. We visited family in South Carolina, and then more family from Illinois visited us the week after Christmas. We took them to do the usual SoFlo tourist things. I held a baby alligator. In case you’re wondering, that’s pure terror on my face.

My cherry tomato plant is still doing well. I last counted a couple of days ago and there were more than 60 little tomatoes. One is starting to turn red, so I hope some of the others won’t be far behind. I can’t wait!
