[GARDENS] Tomato Tuesday!

I'm a day late on this, but ... TOMATOES!!

The Atlanta area has endured heavy storms the last couple of days.  Thick, sheeting rains that feel more like standing under a waterfall than a shower.

When I went out to check on things this morning, I found my sole Beefsteak tomato with a broken stem.  I splinted him with a bamboo kebab skewer broken in thirds for even placement around the stem, and then wrapped it several times up and down with floral tape.

Fingers crossed that the branch heals.  

The Roma clusters are bulbing out nicely, and the Basil in the bottom of the Beefsteak planter is happy in its new home.

 

The Gardens at Chateau Boudreaux

I've started a patio garden this year.  Nothing too extensive, as this is my first real attempt at growing edibles.  I've been posting notes about it to my GooglePlus Collection titled "The Gardens at Chateau Boudreaux", but I plan to resume posting creative things here, too, as it's been entirely too long since I've written about my projects.

Welcome to the Import!

My personal project this afternoon has been to separate my "BeckieSueDalton" blog into a "creative stuffs" one and a "smart stuffs" one.  Now that I've finished the basic setup for the creative one (hooray!), I'm at the point of transferring posts from the original blog to here.  My hope is to have this finished out tonight so I can start updating both blogs regularly - especially with the progress made on our backyard container garden, and with exciting things happening on my gaming and school horizons.

Stay tuned; there's lot of fun projects ahead!
