Boo!

 

No, I haven't decorated for Halloween early this year. That's my tomatoes in their deer deterrent bags. The deer have finally discovered my hostas and are coming up at night to snack on them so I realized I better do something about those baby tomato plants that I've invested a small fortune in.

The total so far is three grow bags, three deer deterrent bags, three bags of potting soil and a bag of bone meal. The plants cost all of $4. Everything else adds up to around $50 so far. Do you want to bet I don't even get $10 worth of tomatoes? It would be an easy win. But just look at my plants. They were a sickly mess on clearance a week ago and now they look green and strong. They may not produce a thing but it's worth it just to see them all so happy. 

And.....we hit another milestone here this week in The Mister's recovery. He said that when he could finally sit at the table he was going to get himself a box of crabs so he did. It was the first time he sat in our dining room chairs without a mound of pillows or needing my help to get back up. He sat there for a couple of hours happily cracking away. I think we can finally declare it all over-and a victory. It was rough couple of months but he's saying it was worth it. Now he's saying he wants his knees done. I dunno.....
