Here's something nutty I noticed on my morning stroll. That pole is pretty high, I am standing on the ground there, aiming up. A Tomato has made friends with the Heavenly Blues and I traced it back to the mother plant and it's one of those insane Heirlooms. They're crazy. It's clear up at the top there. The Morning Glory's lashed it firmly to the pole. That Tomato had to travel 6 feet over and then about 7 feet up to get where it's at. There's a bunch of green Tomatos on it too. Doubt I can reach most of them, and don't care because I have plenty I CAN reach. I just thought it was odd.

Thanks, DD, for being such a bad influence on me. I just got one of those "Letters" and, from a throw-away email account I answered.
My new darling friend,
I was so happy to receive your email.
I am a very lonely man. I am handicapped and in a wheelchair and completely paralyzed from the waist down.
All I need a woman to cuddle with and love me.
I'd love to see pictures of you. I'm quite unattractive but I've got a big heart and a big house.
I will love to hear from you soon.
You make me happy already!
Love,
Stanley Ipsick.
How much do you want to bet it will be the same pictures you received??
You should start sending bad jokes. What do they call a guy with no legs in front of the door? Matt.
No way Snark!!
At least he's up front with his impotent, unattractive, deadwood, broke ass dick! Think of the fun...
What was I saying, Snarks love letter got me all flustered and jealous.
Oh, those Blue morning glories are VERY aggressive, but lovely. In the fall their seeds can be snatched for the next years planting, and the second generations' flowers are bigger and bluer than the first. I keep mine in a pill bottle marked, so I don't forget who they are in the spring.
Shelly.
I need entertainment today so I'm creating my own.
If you end up having a ton of tomato's at the end of the season you can freeze them and use them during the winter. Just a thought.
Thanks, Naseem. I just learned how to do that last year.
How do you freeze them? I won't have enough of my own, but they're for sale everywhere. I have one of those Food saver vacuum sealer things. I got it for Xmas and just busted it out for the blueberries. I would like to do more fresh stuff now- cause in the winter the food supply around here is awful.
You just throw them in the freezer, whole. No blanching, nuthin'. I'll post about it sometime.
