Side Note

the neighbors here are building a pig barn, to keep their pigs in, I would think (aieee what else would you keep in a pig barn) -should I be concerned? I have happy memories of pigs (i.e. Vicky's wedding pig roast.)
All is well.

Is this happening around you all, too?

srsly

... ok the tomato plants are basically dead, although bowing down with red tomatoes. I have washed, quartered and frozen 3 1-gallon bags and (digging into my pre-no memory history) when I have 6 bags full I will have enough for a batch of spaghetti sauce.

aye, there's the Rub.

Will I maybe have enough for 10 quarts of spaghetti sauce? Which I could have bought for under $20. Just saying. (although as I recall, my sauce was MUCH better. but - I could have duplicated just by buying tomato SAUCE. (for under $10).

WhATEVER. I am trying to save the world. Do not try to stop me.

Whiskey. Tango. Foxtrot.

Whatever. It will be FRESH, you know-nothings.

I am preparing for the apocalypse. And I will have spaghetti, by gum. this means survival, I think. I hope there's enough nutrients in there to help you survive.

(Note to self: Buy spaghetti. I ain't making spaghetti noodles from scratch, no way, no how.)

Scary fact of the day: the lettuce is trying to RESURRECT.

(Wear your helmets)

This is just wrong

Blogger decided to change my sign-in user id and password to my Google stuff (why? oh why?) and so now I have to re-remember everything every time I come in here. and you suffer for it with my lack of posts.

Yo, people. I am not good with this remembering of stuff.

Ok, the cucumbers invaded, killing everything in their path and then promply died, too, although they have tiny little cucumberites that I don't think will ever see maturity. The tomatoes are lying on top of everything else but dying off too, although we keep reaping them. The pumpkins had flowers which fell off and did not pumpkin. We have zucchini, I only let 3 grow - where's my zucchini bread recipe, btw?

I think the lesson is, don't get so crowded. Yes, thank you whatever. As I always say, "next year!" bwhahaaha

We had lettuce; yes lettuce (omg - I think it's finally done), beans, peas, peppers, tomatoes, so it was not a total loss. and the oregano! should I cut it and hang to dry? But I can't imagine ever making enough Italian dishes to put it into; excuse me, I am not planting any more herbs. I am all good with buying them in nice little bottles. The oregano did very well and if you want it here it all is; come and get it.

and the tomatoes are now a thorn in my side, not enough to can, too much to eat.

Next year: 3 tomatoes. 3 cucumbers no oregano and spread IT OUT. WHATEVER.
