The long to do list....

I won't say how long the fan has been in the unopened box waiting to be put up.  We had a small fan that was in the house when we bought it and we bought this much bigger one to replace it.

The bedroom is pretty big and needed a larger one.  It is hard enough to sleep through the night with night sweats, the other fan did not even reach my side of the bed...Now, I am a happy lady.

We bought another galvanized container for our tomatoes (in the back) I took this picture last month of our garden. The heat is on and the plants have slowed down a good bit, but still producing some.

The garden is under a willow tree and receive a lot of sunlight for most of the day. It is shaded during the hottest hours by the willow tree.

Cold Frame for the tomato plants

 

I thought I would post a picture of the frame Hubby and I made for the garden.  We put a tarp over the pvc frame on the cold nights.  I am not sure how long it will extend the growing season...It will be interesting to find out.  We have quite a few green tomatoes still on the plants.  

Texas Tough Tomatoes

I planted this "Husky Cherry Red" tomato plant in the early spring. I planted it deep and used extra large sized containers. The plant is covered in tiny tomatoes. We pick a large handful every day from only one plant. My sweet 100's that I have planted in other states...are just not tough enough for Texas...but, the Husky cherry red are!
