Growing Fresh Tomatoes

I love making homemade salsa and eating fresh vegetables but lately my gardening skills aren't that great. I just not getting the results I want. My garden typically includes tomato, jalepeno, and onion. None of which are growing well anymore. I have seen ads for those Upside-Down Tomato Planters and am nervous to give them a try. Has anyone used them before and do they really work?

That's my question too. I saw a commercial for these and they would be great for my mom, but I'm hesitant to purchase them too :)

I have heard good and bad... I just don't know. I may break down and give it a try but I don't have anywhere to hang it.

So I was going for a walk last evening and guess what I saw... upside down plant hangers. Actually I saw them at several homes and to be honest with you they looked pretty good. I am going to keep my eye on them to see what kind of yield they get but I may buy some for next year, that is if I have somewhere to hang them.

Where do you plant your "crop" now? In the ground or in pots? I guess that is why I'm asking.

We do a lot of gardening. Maybe if I know a little more about what you are doing, might be able to come up with an idea or two. I know if it's the ground, it needs to rest one season. But if it's pots, well ... that I'm not use to. LOL

Back to the ground resting ... that was one of the laws actually. Every 7 years, the ground shouldn't be planted .. needed to rest. :) That is the trivia bit for the day. LOL

Living Single – Feeling Left Out

Last night I attended a church meeting hoping to make some connections. Since my divorce a couple years ago I have struggled with making new contacts and friends. I have noticed that my patience for people has even diminished causing me to isolate myself more than normal. I guess I have lost confidence in others because of the divorce. To be honest I really didn’t pay much thought to it but recently I have begun to examine myself to see if I can figure out what is going on. The meeting was good but unfortunately the group was not what I was looking for. I was surrounded by people in their 20’s and/or families in their 30’s. As a single parent I really feel left out, even more so as a single dad. There seems to be a class or a group for single women but rarely for single dads. I would love a class like that! As a man living single is very hard. I really want to do what is right but I struggle with desires and female companionship. I often pray to God to help me be happy with where I am ...

The Other Daddy

I may need a reality check here so correct me if I am wrong.  If a father is very active in his kid's life and even has primary custody should the children call their step father, daddy?  I know there are situations out there where step dads become the regular dad becuase he isn't around and I think that is great.  However, I can see my ex really getting my goat by convincing my daughter to call her step dad, "daddy".  I think she should call him by his first name.  Do I make an issue out of this or let it go?  However, it does bother me a bit, okay more than a bit.

Getting all the Breaks

Have you ever noticed that some people seem to catch a lot of breaks while others seem to always get passed by? Not that I have a hard life or am lacking but I have noticed that there are a few things I am constantly striving for that shouldn't be out of reach for some reason they continually slip through my fingers. For example: There is this young couple that bought tickets to win a home, they WON... several years later they bought a couple more and won again. Here I am trying to pay off debt so I can buy a home and it seems that there is one thing after another that is pushing farther and farther in debt. I am not trying to gripe but I wonder sometimes why some seem to have an easier go at life while others don't. Is it the past choices they made? I know when it comes to a good portion of my life if I would of listened to God and not married the woman I did my life would be much simpler, yet I would not have been blessed with the wonderful little girl that I have. And...
