The Gashlycrumb Seedlings

[jikme]

Blessed with unbridled optimism and a short memory, I planted some tomatoes today. Longtime fans will recall that I've never had much luck growing tomatoes in Arizona (or anywhere else). But I'm trying again -- I planted "Big Beef", "Early Girl", "Ciudad Victoria" and another local variety whose name escapes me. I have no real expectation of ever eating one of these tomatoes, given my dismal track record. Indeed, I think I'm planting only out of morbid curiosity.

For my next trick I'll plant a serrano pepper plant, sunflowers and okra. Updates to come.
