redbird: closeup of me drinking tea, in a friend's kitchen (Default)

My wrist is better, but that's not the same as "well": I am using the brace some of the time, largely as a reminder to myself not to overdo things; still icing occasionally; and taking naproxen if the wrist, or anything else, hurts too much to ignore. Too much to ignore mostly means that if it keeps hurting when I rest.

The wind at the edge of Tropical Storm Isaias bent some of the stems on my cherry tomato plant. When the wind calmed down a bit, I went outside with string and did my best to fasten the stems loosely to the tomato cage. I am hopeful for more homegrown cherry tomatoes.

The other tomato plant has fewer branches and the pear-shaped tomatoes stubbornly remain green, and I think I'm almost at the end of cucumbers from these plants. Next year I will order more plants, and order earlier--even if there are no supply chain interruptions, schlepping small live plants home from the nursery inconveniently requires two buses, a trip that's much simpler when I'm not carrying anything fragile.

I don’t know your gardening history. Would you like a suggestion for next season’s tomatoes?
