I’m up to P (working on Q), but probably won’t get any scanning done tonight. The second half of the alphabet is definitely more difficult than the first. I have no idea what I’m going to do about X and Z.

Raindrops on Romas
I love roma tomatoes. They’re just about perfect.

Hosta
Another freebie from a coworker. I wasn’t sure I wanted hostas, but now that I’ve got them, I like them. This one is variegated, so it’s got white and green leaves. It makes a nice change from the rest of the standard green in the garden.

Tomato Hornworms
O gross!
The little bastards–I found three of them–have eaten one bunch of tomato plants. OVERNIGHT!!! The plants were fine yesterday, with no sign of caterpillars. When I went out to water them this evening, I noticed that something had chomped on some of the baby romas, and that a bunch of foliage was gone. GONE! Like, entire branches!
I realize these will eventually (like, after a month of chomping) turn into moths, which would be fine, except for the month of chomping part. I don’t have enough tomato plants to feed them, so The Three Little Caterpillars went bye-bye.
Pepper
The peppers are even farther behind than the tomatoes, but they’re finally starting to bloom.
While I was working on collages, I had the TV on for background noise. Bravo is running some sort of Real Housewives of New Jersey marathon today, and holy crap! Talk about a hot mess! They’re all mean and hateful, but that Caroline takes the freaking cake. She’s a nasty bully, and it’s repulsive. And now, dammit, I can’t look away!

My tomatoes are a bit behind, because I started them late. I really ought to thin them out, except I just can’t bring myself to decide which ones to sacrifice. Especially now that they’ve got baby tomatoes on them. Itty bitty baby romas, to be exact. Yum!
Green
Tomato Blossoms
Daylily Leaves
The one saving grace of all this godawful rain is that everything green is growing.
