Tomato Time.

25 Replies

I wasn't going to bother this year,

Because I wasn't well.

And then I thought just one more time,

Before I go to...wherever it is I'm finally going.

You have to make yourself do things,

Keep having little rests

I'm very good at that bit,

But have trouble with the rest.

Getting started is quite hard

But once you have begun,

You've got the chance to sit right back,

Being proud at what you've done.

For the first time in my long and seemingly longer and longer life, I'm finding I often have to talk myself into doing things. Before, I simply did them..., now...., it calls for a "committee meeting" along with votes, etc., etc.....

It's more work talking myself into this stuff than it is to simply doing it in the first place.....

Bit easier in this good weather though init?

😂😂😂😂 hadn't thought of it like that but you've hit the nail on the head! Most of the time and effort does seem to go on the 'committee meetings' - soooo glad it's not just me.

Don, I love your garden, it looks very inviting and a sun trap, I'll bet. Your tomatoes should do very nicely as long as Midge doesn't help :)

How tidy your greenhouse is Don, puts mine to shame! Lots of light, tomatoes should do well. Hope your water butts are full, this wind is dryng everything up.

Water butts fill automatically from a hose when the level falls to keep the watering system going when I'm off on my travels. It has been very dry and my soil is so sandy.

Nice garden Don could do with you at ours yours puts our to shame

in reply toTime_2_drink

You made me laugh there, Margaret. I can't get down to the bottom of my garden without sitting down part way. I employ a gardener to look after that, but by doing a little bit at a time I try to do the greenhouse myself. Look at the whole of my garden and I'm a failure, just looking at my greenhouse to me that's a success.! That's what I tried to get across in my rhyme. I aim to always do things that are within my range of capabilities, not get depressed about things I can no longer do.

That's a good philosophy to live by Don.

I have grown three tiny tomato plants.....next job is to get them in my very mini plastic green house. Small steps.

But worthwhile ...mind you I didn't get many tomatoes last year for some reason.

Take care and thanks.

Last year wasn't good around here for toms, I don't know why. I've never been much of a gardener, just liked to keep it tidy when I could do it myself. But I love tasty toms.😋

That is a good philosophy to have Don wish it would rub of on me because I feel a total failure .Take last night for instance come bedtime I was scared to go to bed kept poor Frank up to 2am it was ok when we were caravaning and having a drink .Went to bed got up at 4am for loo got tangled up in radiator valve couldn't breath been awake since 😷😷😷

in reply toTime_2_drink

Well, you can learn something from everything that happens, Margaret. Maybe if you had gone to bed and not kept Frank up you wouldn't have had the drama of the radiator incident. i e safer in bed? You did well yesterday and can build on that. How you can see that as "total failure" beats me.

I can see where you are coming from but I was anxious and I thought if we stayed up I might have been able to sleep Frank could have lain in today because nothing spoiling but it didn't work out

Good Philosophy Don
