I always do my best to ignore the 4th Of July Fireworks. Too much noise.
So I see on the sticky thread of To All Lurkers that you invite us all to join in . Even if you don't have a farm. Well , no farm animals here in my suburban yard but I do aspire to be a hobby farmer so I grow a lot of veggies. Lots of flowers, shrubs and such too but you would be surprised at the amount of veggies I have managed to cram in and grow on my small amount of land.
I have my grass cut by a lawn service. Have known this guy for years now and always give him home grown veggies. So It is raining today, not hard. I am surprised that he showed up today but he did, just left.
So he was looking to get red ripe tomatoes two weeks ago when he was here and I only had green ones. Asked if he he wanted tomatoes (silly question, I knew he did) so I was out there cutting tomatoes in the rain while they were cutting grass in the rain.
I also cut him cucumbers as I forgot to give him cucumbers last time he was here. I have eatten and given away lots of eggplant these past few days already so there wasn't much in eggplant but I did manage to find some of those smaller asian types to give him and one zucchini. So he goes home with a lot of veggies. He manages to get veggies from me each time he is here. No wonder he likes coming here!
But this is what I mean by saying I am a wanna be farmer. I love to grow things. Especially edibles, especially veggies. My tomatoes plants have threatened to take over my garden for years. Have 60 tomato plants this year. I mean crazy for a backyard gardener. Well, backyard, sideyard and front yard also gardener.
And I had already picked this morning. Have a nice batch of tomatoes sitting on the kitchen counter for myself and already this morning gave tomatoes and cucumbers to various neighbors and friends.
Everyone in the neighborhood knows I garden and grow veggies. I am really popular in the summertime.
I love to grow them and I love to share.
