I hope she gets accepted (not because of the possible job it might bring me, but because becoming published is SO COOL!) Good luck! And I’ve started shaking the tomatoes, thanks for the tip :)

Mrs Greenhands, I will try that…probably tomorrow if I can find the time! The parsley is taking over and I can’t bring myself to just pull it up. I even have a couple rolls of blank news paper from a move. Thanks!

I found an easy way to dry my herbs. I spread newspaper in the back seat of my car, layer the herbs and then cover them with more newspaper. It gets so hot in the car that the herbs dry in a few hours. Plus, it makes the car smell good!

Try giving the tomato plants a shake each time you visit them. Sometimes in hot and sticky conditions the pollen sticks together and the plants have difficulty self pollinating.
Do it at a cool time of day, say early morning for best results.
Just a thought.

Oh, and my wife has a book proposal doing the rounds of various publishers at the moment. Should any of them ever honour her with an acceptance……..

………she’ll need a Web Site and I mentioned your name.

With an income around $600/month I think it’ll be more along the lines of a tiny trailer in a crappy trailer park or some other gawd awful thing. I should start a commune up in the hills with acres of gardens and a bunch of round houses made out of mud and bottles :lol
