To Kill a Mockingbird

I finally found our what has been happening to my cherry tomatoes.  It seems a certain cheeky chap has been snacking on them. 

He has been treating my porch like his own private salad bar.  In front of me, he helped himself to the  reddest tomatoes on the vine!

Later, my son told me that he saw the mockingbird perched on some of my strawberries.  The nerve of that bird!

Rest easy readers; despite the title of this post, I have no intention of killing him.  I just hope he leaves me and my family some fruit to enjoy.

Stormy Weather

The wind today is unreal. We are having gusts of about sixty miles an hour, and the forecast does not appear to due down until after 1800. I hope the tomatoes and the cherry tomatoes are okay.

The strawberries look fine, as do the tomatoes. I am excited about the strawberries. It's the first time I try to grow my own.
