The Tomato Thief

Song - Intro to "To Catch a Thief"


Someone has found a hole in our vegetable garden fence!

Everyday a few of my precious tomatoes go missing.






A raccoon at night perhaps?

The thieves don't even care if the tomatoes are ripe.  They will eat every green or red one they can reach!




Or perhaps it's a little, white, furry creature during the middle of the day?


Or possibly there is a whole team of thieves working both day and night????



To catch a thief, one needs a plan!




Mr. B came up with it -  a breath analyzer!!!  Brilliant.

(But then again, he most always is......)




So the other afternoon, when Mika had been outside for an unusually long period of time, Mr. B held her up and smelled her breath!

Caprese Salad!

She was so busted......

A Sunday Stroll

Song - Potato Head Blues by Louis Armstrong


Spring has Sprung.

Please join me this week for a walk in my garden.


Come on through the arbor on this lovely Sunday morning!







Last week my oldest son Andy helped me put in my vegetable garden. 

Love those strong muscles!

We put in 9 tomato plants into some great new soil. 

The last few years I haven't been able to grow tomatoes and I don't know why (other than Mika & Max would help themselves to what they could reach!). 


But this is THE year!




The Chives are from last year.  I love their sweet scent.





State Fair Zinnia's planted among the Cilantro and Chives.





And 6 - YES-six-can-you-believe-it-? - zuccini plants.

I just love Spring don't you?

It feels like a fresh start.
