Well friends I am now back from my cruise and got a chance to briefly toodle around my yard this morning, and what I found surprised me a bit. Everything has exploded! I was concerned with the crazy storms our area had while I was gone that I would be coming home to stunted and possibly destroyed plants, but the opposite has occurred. Take a look at this giant handful of strawberries I picked this morning.
Now, strawberries don't often make it from the bed all the way into the house because they generally get eaten right off the vine. This morning however, they made a beautiful addition to my bowl of cereal. I'm not generally a big cereal eater, but with these added to the bowl it made a nice light breakfast after the past week of gluttony.
Something else that has done quite nicely are my tomato seedlings. They spent the whole week outside and seemed to handle it just fine. My Amish Paste tomatoes seem to have done particularly well.
If your tomatoes didn't fare so well in the past week of inclement weather, feel free to take a few of these off my hands. I'm happy to share. I think I'm going to give these guys one more week in the red cups and then off to the garden with them!
Tune in tomorrow when I will hopefully share with you the wonderful progress my herb garden has made!

The Rutgers tomatoes that you gave me took a real beating here in Sacramento...we got some bad hail. I'm not sure they are going to survive. I could use 2 or 3 healthy ones next time you come up. My squash looks like lace the leaves have so many holes in them.
Straaaaaaaaaaaaawberrieeeeeeeeeees....
