The joys and perils of indoor gardening with a very helpful Cocker Spaniel,
now known as Hannah the Gardener...

Has it really been over a week since I was here? I can't believe it!

I fed the tomatoes and peppers a couple of days ago and I'm sure they've grown a couple of inches in the past few days. They're growing like weeds!

I think I'm going to get some 7, or 10 gallon grow bags and put the little plants outside. Well, they're not so little anymore and they need more room and more sunlight. My window garden is going 'camping' on the 'patio'!

These things are going to be too big to move around, so they'll have to be where they're going to stay before we put any dirt in any of them. I don't want them down on the cement. That would be too nice for snakes. I don't want any snakes that close to the door!!! There's a kind of a funny story behind that statement...

The sweet potato is growing crazy, too, and it hasn't been fed, or watered. It's just growing from the potato itself. And doing very well!

I only wish the sage were doing as well as the rest of the plants. Well, it's going outside tomorrow. We'll see if that helps it. Maybe it needs more direct sunlight. Maybe it's a wrong type dirt, too rich, or something, so I'll try outside and more light, for starters.

We have ants! They come in and bite me right in my chair! I think Hannah the Gardener has ants instead of fleas, this year. She'll be asleep and all of a sudden start scratching like crazy. I haven't seen any fleas. The ants are right outside the door where she goes out. They bite me. I don't know why they wouldn't bite her, too!
