Bottom Rot

Apparently bottom rot is a really common thing when growing tomatoes.  My friend Vickie's husband Matt brought this to my attention. I though a bug had gotten to my plant. Turns out that a lack of calcium in the dirt can cause this.  Makes me sad that this is what has come to my first tomato that was ripening! 

Hope this can get under control before I lose all my plants to bottoms rot! Oh the adventures of gardening! 

I asked my dad for advice since he had told me he had once tried his hand at tomatoes.  He said he has neve heard of this problem because in Arizona the hardest part is keeping them watered!

In other news... Here are my radishes!

Whenever I get ready to leave the house the dogs always give me guilt trip...

Puppy dog faces are my weakness!

June 24th

This kind of made my day... What are the odds GA or VA would let me do thi? I think I would have a better shot dressing Higgins up!

Happy June 24th!

Life's distractions aka my girls

This is a sequence of photos I took of my girls this morning. Please take note of the red rope. This rope was from a toy I bought Georgia when she was a little pup that I thought she would never be able to destroy. - well she did and she loves this rope more than some of her other fully intact toys.  It is one of Virginia's favorite too.  This game has turned into a tug of war/keep away.

At this point they have actually fully lost the rope and are just making noses at eah other with their mouths open... It actually is rather strange.

Love my pups! They sure do make life interesting!

One more reason why...

I love my dad :)

This text came from my mom. Olive (one of Katie's dogs that my parents are watching) needed surgery for a tumor in her colon...

Not only did my dad assist the vet (dr. robinson our horse vet) in the surgery but removed the stitches himself!

Go Dad!!!

Thankful that even though the distance I can still feel close with my parents and other family though technology :)

Happy Father's Day!
