It’s Finally Tomato Season!
2009 | Home and Garden, Money
There’s nothing that I love more than our little hanging tomato plant. She’s a god little plant who, thanks to my brown thumb, has had to come back from the dead three times! Her name is Sadako, named after the infamous Ringu ghost, and she shares our home with Yoichi and Toshio – both small house plants. Unfortunately for us we can’t ever put Sadako outside because of the horrible bugs! We live in Missouri in a spot that’s very swampy when it’s wet, which is all the time, and extremely hot or extremely cold depending on what time of year it is. The saying around here is that this part of the country has no seasons, just sweltering and freezing.
Because of the hot, humid, muggy weather during the spring through fall we have insane bug problems here. Loads of snails, aphids, mosquito, giant spiders that look like medium sized tarantulas but they aren’t and the awful, horrible fruit flies! They’re everywhere! You can have the cleanest house in the world and still have fruit flies. They’re all over the county, thick as fog during humid weather, and they waft in every time you open the door so going in and out of your home becomes a race!
So obviously, this is an uncomfortable place to live, right? Well it’s also very hard on our poor Sadako. We can’t keep bugs off of her no matter what we do, what kind of sprays and home remedies we try. And if you want to do anything organically out here? Well you’re just out of luck, people look at you like you’re insane for even asking about organic products. It’s going to become a situation where we’ll just have to buy our products on the internet, the way we do with everything else. I’ve been thinking for a couple of weeks about buying a organic tomato growing kit to properly take care of Sadako in doors since we can’t really put her outside. She’s actually a hanging plant, we got her in a ‘kit’ with a basket and moss and she’s a resilient little thing. I wish we could put her outside and prop her up with one of SaferBrand’s Stake it Easy garden stakes to keep her supported, plus keep her protected with their very affordable and apparently very effective Tomato & Vegetable Insect killer. It’s information page is very, very impressive (even protects against caterpillars!) and yes, it’s organic!
