Shelly > July 17, 2008 I had a photography instructor once tell me that dragonflies were an easy subject to capture. She is a very accomplished nature photographer, but on that one topic she was dead wrong. Still, I finally got one, so maybe number two will be a bit easier.
Shelly > June 25, 2008 First Tomatoes of the Season Well, maybe not the very first. The first one was a big full size Celebrity variety, but the birds got it. The second one was one of these little Sweet 100's. I ate it almost as fast as I could pick it off the vine. Had to wait a while for these. Back when the kids were little, we used to make a huge production of the first produce from our garden. I'd put it on a good china plate, and slice it into equal portions for each of us to enjoy even if it wsa just a single little cherry tomato. Sometimes, we'd even light candles to celebrate. We'd always share the most legendary stories about past gardens, especially about Ian gorging himself on so many tomatoes that were still hot in the yard, that the juice ran down his bare tummy and turned him red. Our other most favorite-est tale was about the time Dustin and a neighbor boy went out to play and ate the entire carrot crop, dirt and all. Each carrot was only about two inches long and as sweet as candy. Now I think I'm the only one who still gets excited about the first tomatoes. Didn't even get out the good china this time, but I decided to give these little beauties a special treatment with selective coloring. This may be is a rather crude effort, but it was my first try.

Shelly > September 13, 2007 Garden Brutality It's a battle for space between the Sago Palm and the Ojo Santo.
Shelly > May 27, 2007 More volunteers! These squash are growing out of the compost bin! I was about to use the dirt in some of our beds, but now I guess it will have to wait. I'm not too sure what they are, but they're obviously from something we've had in the past year. I'm thinking maybe spaghetti or butternut. Will have to look when I'm at the grocery story to see if I can figure it out.
Shelly > May 27,2007 Celebrity tomatoes. If they will only ripen before they rot or the birds get them, we'll have some GOOD eating soon. I haven't grown full-size tomatoes since we've been in Houston -- and that's getting to be a long time. I have five of these plants along with a Sweet 100 and another heritage tomato that I bought because the color looked so rich on the plant stake. Yep -- the photography caught mye ye and sold me. Imagine that.
