Sweet Victory

June 24, 2010 by Richard Callahan Leave a Comment

Today I had my first tomato sandwich of the season made with a tomato from my backyard garden.  My plan to keep the squirrels out of my tomatoes is a success!  Ahhh, victory is sweet and tasty.

That’s Life in Raleigh.

The Governor’s Summer Garden Patch

June 24, 2010 by Richard Callahan Leave a Comment

N.C. Governor Bev Purdue is participating in the Plant a Row for the Hungry program again this summer.  There’s a beautiful crop of corn, squash, and beans in the garden patch outside the gates of  the governor’s mansion.  All of the extra produce grown on the inside of the gates is also donated to the program.  I hope to have enough tomatoes to participate along with the governor this summer!

That’s Life in Raleigh.

Squirrels and My Tomatoes – Round 3 – Game Over!

June 21, 2010 by Richard Callahan Leave a Comment

Enough is enough.  I’m serious about keeping my tomatoes this year.  All these hungry squirrels that are lining up are so out of luck.

The contraption that I’ve designed to protect my tomatoes is in place.  If all goes according to plan, I should have bushels of tomatoes this year gracing my table and to share with friends and neighbors and Plant a Row for the Hungry.  I don’t think we’ll even have to contend with those nasty little holes that the birds drill in the tomatoes, either.

Check this out.  I have tomatoes ripening undisturbed.  No way the squirrels are winning this round.  But I’ll keep you posted.

That’s Life in Raleigh.

Sorry, squirrels!
