Meditation on Tomatoes
It has finally happened! The tomato vines finally have a decently visible tomatoes. If things continue well, I might become independent of buying Publix tomatoes. A well-cared for tomato plant always increases in value. I suppose most folks do not find tomatoes all that exiting. It is just my ordinary life as all. As far as things that can actually come to pass, I have plenty of reasonable goals. When I was wee small, I wanted normal type of things. Think of the most mundane goals, and there you have it. Being a writer was not even part of the...
My First Harvested Bell pepper
On Christmas Eve, I harvested my first bell pepper. It was not red, but it felt like a good a time as any. Bell peppers work well in any color. This was the biggest bell pepper from my entire garden. It had only three bumps, but it was still pretty nice. They say that the ones with 4 bumps are the nicest, but mine was real nice. It had a strong bell pepper taste. My mother cooked it with white rice. She then added black beans to the mix to make a great congri. I ate this congri as well....
Habemus Bell Peppers
Today I went to check up on my lovely bell peppers and I was delighted to see that I had two fruits.

I wish more folks would know the joy of growing tiny little plants. Being a...
The Progress of my Tomatoes and Bell Pepper Plants
A couple of hours ago, Florida had a little Tropical Storm named Eta. The storm first passed by Cuba, which was a good thing. Cuba has tiny mountains. They were useful enough to weaken the Tropical Storm before it came to South Florida. This Tropical Storm did a number on Mexico. I pray that God helps the Mexicans from the Riviera Maya. I like Mexico, and the Mexicans. They don’t let folks mess with them. That is something worth respecting. In any case, Tropical Storm Eta also brought flooding to Florida. I guessed that it could cause problems in South...
My Gardening and Artsy Progress
I made two new Youtube videos. They chronicle my progress with the gardening nonsense and with my arty progress as well. I feel like an old fart around the edges. I wish folks would speak to me in a normal language, that I can understand. I never did bother to learn texting language. It is always people wanting me to adapt to their nonsense, but nobody has ever put an effort to accommodate me. The overall point of this rant, is that I wish folks would talk to me clearly, and with no Jargon or euphemism. Anyhow, I hope you...
