Tomatoes from Trimmings

 














Some of my tomato plants were growing “Jack and the Beanstalk” style up to the sky. To strengthen the plant, I trimmed the tops off. The aroma of the tomato cuttings was so fragrant, I put them in a water glass on the kitchen counter. Roots emerged a few days later and, after a couple of weeks, I planted those top trims in a pot on the deck. Those plants are over 3 feet tall now, and, more importantly, have 3 beautiful tomatoes on them.

New Book About A Box Turtle!


 

“Goldie The Friendly Box Turtle” is based on my own backyard wildlife experience. Over a two year period, I observed a special Eastern Box Turtle. It was interesting to watch her travel outside my home and learn about box turtle habits. In reviewing old photographs, I confirmed that this particular box turtle has been near my home for at least 7 years!


Young readers will learn about box turtles, and gain an appreciation of nature. I intend for this to be the first of many stories about Goldie.
