ENTRY # SEVENTEEN HUNDRED & FORTY NINE

Good Morning.

Time is so precious-do not waste it, living for thyself alone. Live for others...

The sun never sets on Dad's Tomato Garden Journal.

Monday is here again, are you ready for it ? I feel like that I am. I am always glad to get back to work in the tomato garden. And the weather that we are having is making it a little more interesting. Sunday afternoon it was hot and no rain, just plenty of that good sunshine. And at 4 p.m. I noticed that the tempeature was 84. That sure will make those tomatoes grow.
.
Here is the weather report for this monday, and it sounds good to me.
.
Sunny skies and a high of 88. I like that. And to start the day here at 3 a.m. the tempeature is 70.
.
.
The first thing that I am going to do this morning is get some coffee and tea started. I know that all of you are ready for a cup. We all know that it takes that coffe or tea to get us started. It will be raady in about 5 minuets. Sit here and talk to me while we wait. Dad.
.
This is the week that we are going to visit Kelly and her family, friends and all her chickens. The day that we go we are going to meet them at a nice restaurant that she has chosen. Then after we have visited there for a little while we are going on to their home and visit all those chickens. I hope to get some good pictures and maybe a video. This is something that we have never done, but I do bleive that it will be nice. Kelly is amoung some of my first readers, and I appreciate all the good stuff that she has sent me that I was able to use on my blog. Dad.
.
Here is a question from one of my readers who lives in Kingsport, Tn. I am going to try and help him. DAD.
.
I'm having tomato problems.
3 of my 4 plants seem to have the top leaves curling up. It does not look good. What is it and can it be fixed?
.
This link below will show you a few leaf problems, but I don't think that it includes your problem. I will have more for you tomorrow. Dad.

We are also proud of our tomato garden this year. It is begining to look like that we are going to have plenty of tomatoes from those 45 plants that you can view on both of my cams # 1 and #2 . I check these two cams at 3 a.m. and they were both working, also the eagle Cam was o.k.
.
Be sure that you look at Dad's Tomato Garden Albuum. Dad's Tomato Garden 2009 . It shows the progress of the tomatoes almost daily. Thanks for following them right on up to the sandwich. Wish you were here to help me try them out. Be sure and use the slideshow. Dad.
.
.
Here is a link below that I think we should all look at again. Some valuable things to think about. Keep this information handy you might need it sooner than you think. Dad.

If you are here around 7 a.m. it will be getting daylight and we could go up to the Eagle Web Cam and see how things are going. It can't be much longer untill they are going to take off. Dad.
.
Below is a example of what you will find over in my side panel. Be sure and look over there. Dad.

You will even find Tennessee Granddaddy over there and I know that you don't want to miss him.
.
Here is my thought for today.
.
" The smallest good deed is better than the grandest intention. "
.
From Apples of Gold.
.
It is a long way past time for me to go again. The same old excuse I am out of coffee, But I will be back again in the morning. Be kind, content, happy and have a big smile today if you can. Most things that we think about that might happen, never happen. Why worry it don't help at all.
