it's actually a good idea to trim tomato plants back a little bit, they grow more dense and will develop plenty more fruit, it's just going to take some time.
One of my dogs would pick tomatoes and eat them once they had ripened if I didn't get to them first. I had to fence my garden to keep the dog out instead of rabbits.

Thanks so much. I left them and just watered and they actually grew back! My bigger ones are big but no flowers. So I got some fertilizer that was 14/14/14 to maybe jump start those flowering. Do you think dogs or rabbits are easier to deal with?

Being that cute, I think you should base your number limit on (sorry) on how many years you have to enjoy them. I figure I have a good 10 years , then iffy. So (sorry) I make sure that I will outlive them (how depressing!)

Now that I've sat awhile, make that right rib cage, back, both knees, left ankle (my bad one) and my left hand. Bad Maddie.

It's awful getting "more mature". Things hurt more and take more time to get back to normal. I hope you don't require an ER visit.

This picture says it all. I think you should submit it at the next "contest"?

That cake looks scrumptious ! Lately I've had a hankering for a chocolate milk shake. Hmmm.

BTW, I did get that chocolate milk shake at home, with Bryers something raspberry/chocolate something, and milk and it was absolutely gosh darn good!

Garden pictures today, from before I fell with the camera in my pocket...good thing it survived.

I guess you must do some canning or freezing?
