Talkin' soffits, talkin' crops

Yesterday ChelBert took pictures of the progress on Mom's house. The crew was working on the soffits.

Soffit on the east side.


At the northeast corner.


The crew moved the signs, street numbers, and Monitor tube to a temporary location.

I planted two tomatoes, a cherry tomato and a regular slicing tomato. Here is the first fruit of my labor. It is a large, regular slicing tomato.


Next year any tomatoes will be in containers in the greenhouse.


The zucchini are doing great! Here's a huge blossom from Sunday. The vine is spitting on its hands and is ready to make inroads into the kitchen.


Casey likes to sack out on the back stoop in her cardboard box. There's no better place to soak up the rays.

Thanks, Chelbert, for taking the pics. They didn't accomplish much today. They had to go back to their previous job, it rained, and they went back to their motel.

That is a beautiful tomato, p-doobie! And the zuke blossom is pretty too. Was it a male blossom? Mine finally started to grow, but no blooms yet.

Does Casey need a nice soft mat for her (his?) box? I made some out of an old robe for Poss' small dogs but they all died, so I washed them up and Casey can have them if s(he) wishes. Let me know by tomorrow.

Nice tomato! (It's bigger than any we're growing this year.) I'm sure they'll grow larger as the season goes on.

Did they finish up on the house this week?
