I took advantage of a two-day sale at Armstrong's Nurseries and bought this producing tomato plant for my patio garden. So far after a couple of days it seems to be doing well. What might look like out-of-control nut grass in the background is actually a mitigation area to satisfy local environmental regulations for open space.
In this case the Lettuce was substituted with Avocado. Much better. I added a few chileanos for some zest.
First one of the season. It's the perfect time of the year for spotting them. Cool nights and mornings so they seek the warmth of the concrete patios and parking areas. This one is hole up in a drain pipe because a neighbor squirted the hose at it.

My low-carbohydrate lunch for the day. About a cup of spinach leaves, two hard boiled eggs, a couple of boneless, skinless chicken thighs from the George Foreman grill, all topped off with some ranch salad dressing. Pretty good for spur of the moment. I couldn't eat it all.
It's that time of year again. I'm starting earlier than last year to avoid the last minute rush. This is the first picture taken with my iPod Touch.
