    • My mom uses that red plastic (?) for tomatoes, too, but not in such sizes–where did you get it? Also, love the gnome!

    • Monica — Thanks! He’s our only gnome so far :-)

      We ordered the red plastic from Lee Valley: http://www.leevalley.com/US/garden/page.aspx?p=10532&cat=2,2300,33272

    • Very nice. I love the morning sun peeking in!

    • Your yellow pears are looking great! Our plants are growing really slowly.

    • Laura — Thank you! Morning is my favorite time to be out in the garden.

      Meems — I hope yours start going crazy for you :-) Ours seemed to be off to a slow start, too (odd spring weather) but now they’re growing and fruiting happily.

    • I need a gnome!

    • Hi Colleen,
      I just joined Facebook a few days ago, and found your blog through Jan or someone, I don’t remember now. I liked what you said about gardening organically and ranting about squirrels.

      I have gone from hating squirrels to tolerating them, and even taking photos of them for my blog. I haven’t decided if it was a good idea to give in to my husband’s desire to feed them.

      You sure have some pretty tomatoes. Do you ever have birds take bites out of them just as they have ripened? I think it’s the robins here that do that. I used to blame the squirrels, until I saw a robin perched on a tomato cage.

      Well, I’m awake enough to go garden. Later, I plan to request you as a friend on Facebook.
