Today my husband went to Pyramid Lake with some of his friends to play disc golf and bocce ball, it was sooo tempting to go but I decided to stay back and try to get ahead on my classes instead. Nothing like staying in on a sunny Saturday doing homework. However it is kind of nice having the house to myself. I live with Vince’s parents, his sister & her husband and their 2 year old son Malik, and we have a roommate living in the basement. So you can imagine having an empty house is pretty rare. After being a computer zombie for a while and completing a few access exercises I decided to take a quick break and water the garden which is my new favorite hobby. I’m a beginner and pretty much have no idea what I’m doing but I really enjoy it. Right now I’m trying to grow Cherokee Purple tomatoes I heard they sell for around $4-$5 a pound at Raley’s, at least according to the 85 year old patient I spoke to on the phone a few weeks ago. He told me that his plant grew 6 FEET TALL!!! I highly doubt I will be that successful I’m just hoping I can keep mine alive at this point. We’re also growing 3 different types of peppers, corn, onions, cucumber, melon and strawberries. If anyone has any gardening tips let me know!
