Rita Talks: 6/08/08
Posted by Rita under *Rita Talks
I am showing you the before and current photos of my tomato plants. Aren’t they beautiful?! They have grown quite a bit, haven’t they? :) They are covered in tiny green tomatoes, and blooms. It’s really quite amazing since the soil that they are planted in isn’t the best in the world.
I also have a couple more photos to show you of my tiny vegetable garden. Can you tell I am proud?
< My yellow crooked neck squash plants!
< My cucumber and string bean plants!
As you can see, I am still busy gardening. I can hardly wait for those tomatoes to grow and turn bright juicy red!
I have lost 4 pounds this week. I blame on the heat. *laughs* It’s too hot to cook,and too hot to eat. Am I the only one that loses their appetite when it gets this hot? It actually makes me feel nauseous. So, don’t come to my house if you are looking for some good ol home country cooking. The kitchen is closed! *laughs*
I have been surviving on tossed salads, boiled eggs, string cheese, strawberries, apples and yogurt. There is joy in the camp tonight though. I actually broke out the frying pan and cooked steaks. *laughs* The only other thing being served is tossed salad. They better get use to this lazy day cooking, because until summer is over, the cook is on strike!

no you are definitely not the only one that loses their appetite when it’s hot. but I am glad to see I’m not the only one :). The garden looks fantastic!

Ema,
Thanks for the compliment on my garden. If you lived close enough, I would share some tomatoes with you when they are ready.
Hey, maybe we need to swap some no cook meal recipes on this site until the heat is over. Which State are you located in, Ema? Are you in North Carolina also?
Stay cool!

No cook recipes for our family go back to my youth living in a house without air conditioning. We existed on sandwiches and enough salad to make rabbits ill :). Thankfully, there’s also ample fruit, and when in doubt grill outside. Lastly, would I be a southerner without admitting to drinking my own weight in sweet tea to stave off the hunger pains? Of course now I have to make that “lightly sweetened tea” :D.
And though I have lived in Asheville in the past, I’m in Kentucky now. Just a short jump from our dearest Wickles :).
