check out his new buds!

mr. stripey nine days ago.

mr. stripey has become a legend among the tomato kingdom, often cited as "a bad-ass even among beefeaters and betterboys."   otherwise he is joined by basil (pronounced with a proper english accent), four early girls, four lemon boys, one rutgers, one anonymous, and two cherokee purples. . . . marigolds accentuate their homestead to deter flies and vermin. 

have a great day y'all!!

Day 3

Putting some trail miles in before i am anchored into the ground. . . .

day 2

i went for a swing today.  the experience was cathartic, rewarding, after working through my initial resistance and anxiety. 

And so begins the long, arduous journey. . . .

Mr. Stripey may not look to be the mad tomato-factory he will soon become, but he shall rise to a new Age of heirloom nurturing and sustainability that will crush all other efforts on Earth.
