Tomatoes!

Today I have been thinking about home made tomato soup, home made tomato ketchup and home made tomato salsa........... Here is a picture of my tomato soup



And here is a picture of the tomato ketchup.........


What? Can't you see it? This might only be a tiny seedling but contained within it is everything it will ever be, all my summer salads, my autumn ketchup, all those family meal times full of laughter. All that sunshine and rain and cloudy days too... Gosh....I had no idea that being a gardener would be so 'profound'.

    Ah, the anticipation of that very first sun-warmed, ripe tomato. It is sad that some folks don't 'get it' at all. More maters for us!

There I was, enjoying the heatwave. Working on the computer in the garden and thanking my lucky stars for my wonderful life in general... when... my little hennies stopped wanting to go into their house at night, preferring instead trying to roost in a very small cherry tree where the branches were too thin for all but the tiniest of them. I couldn't figure it out and I couldn't let them stay huddled around the cherry tree base all night where they would be easy pickings for Mr Fox. So I cleaned out the henhouse, special clean and physically put them to bed. The next morning little speckle lay listless and limp on the floor of the henhouse. On closer inspection she wasnt dead, but hardly alive. I put her into a cardboard box and brought her into the house where it was cooler, thinking that perhaps the intense heat had made the henhouse too warm at nights for them. Tried to get her to drink from a syringe but she expired very quickly. I was really baffled and very upset.
