femmocrat's JournalMystery tomatoes.... ???
I posted last week about being unable to find six-packs of tomato plants. I found some today at a local hardware store. Only problem is that they are not labeled. LOL But.... they were only $1.99 for six! 
(I bought a dozen.) I also bought six hot cherry peppers. There wasn't much left except celery and some over-grown cabbages and cauliflowers.
I'll bet most of you are well on your way and done planting by now. I got a late start due to unforeseen circumstances.
I made it! Summer vacation is here!
Another school year down the tubes. The difference this year was that I missed a large chunk of spring semester. I told the doctor that I wanted to go back for the last couple of weeks of school, and she let me, but with reservations. It was hard at first, but I made it! And now I have about two and a half months to get healthy.
Every little step was like a milestone. I even started to drive short distances this past week. Being dependent on others was the hardest part of it all. I'm so grateful to be getting back to "normal".
and 
to all on this most wonderful first day of summer break!
NEOMA... if you see this.... how are you doing now?
Tomatoes. A rant. Longish.
I just went out looking for tomato plants for my garden. Do you know that you can't find the little six-packs of tomatoes anymore? The stores want 3.49 for ONE plant in a pot!
This is kind of a long story, so you can quit here if you want. LOL
The past few years I have started my own tomatoes from seed. I always ended up with way too many plants because I had to plant just about every seedling. Well, last year Gurney's had a really good deal on heirloom plants. Maybe 6 plants for 5.99 or something like that. They were really huge and yummy, so I planned to just buy them again. However, they did not repeat this offer this year for whatever reason. And their plants were expensive.
In the middle of the pre-season, I ended up in the hospital with a long recovery afterwards. Now it is June and here I am without one lousy tomato plant.
I am ready to pull my hair out at this point. I am thinking if i wait a few weeks, the stores might mark down those individually potted plants. At least I hope so!
