I just got laid off yesterday and want to start a project but not sure what. Put in my first small garden this year. Not doing so well. Live and learn. So far just a few peppers and lots of cherry tomatoes. Feels like I spent a lot of money for nothing.

You can wash and slice cherry tomatoes and freeze them for adding to dishes later if you get an abundance of them. Hang in there, I started only my second garden ever, I searched it out like crazy every bit of soil, compost, fertilizers, learned so much about tomatoes if you put a tums which is just calcium under your tomato plants when you plant them, it gives them a great boost, also tomatoes use vibration to grow, like the buzzing of the bees, or the wind blowing! Getting laid off can be devastating, hang in there!

KEEP working on your garden ! We also are learning this process. We found out we LOVE IT !! we have also have sucess and failures but it is a learning process ! The harvest gives you gratitude. Espically when you share your all grown homemade salsa with you friends and co workers !! STAY AT IT !! you can only get better !! MUCH LOVE to you patriot !!

Sounds so good, Cherry Lemonade!

It is, and it's nice to know I'm drinking something with no additives!

Gardening is so fun, mine went in late, still waiting. (Up North) Rescuing puppies is definately a good thing, anyway your local spca, or animal compound can help you with getting the other puppies out?
