greenhouse, dogs, planting tomatoes

i drilled a hole and screwed in a hook so that i could make the greenhouse door stay open on its own. up til now i've been using a planter to hold the door open. otherwise the wind blows it shut.

tied a short length of rope into a loop around the handle so i can easily 'unhook' the rope and shut the door if needed.

the greenhouse was still quite full back near the end of may

i cut a piece of wood and screwed it to the wall in the greenhouse so i could hang some tools rather than have them rest on the ground and take up space and fall over. i kept knocking EVERYTHING over.

mollys lump/sebaceous cyst is finally flat again. it drained for a month before flattening out. and it continued to leak for another month before it finally healed all the way. but now its fully healed and the skin has shrunk back so that theres only a dime sized hairless spot. and i can only find it because i had to shave the hair to clean it and that shaved hair, while its grown back, is still shorter than surrounding hair.

every year i save my eggshells in the freezer and when it comes time to plant my tomatoes, i pull this bag out.

i toss a handful of crushed eggshells into the bottom of each hole, before i plant the tomatoes

then i plant the tomatoes like normal. i had such trouble with blossom end rot. and since i started doing this three years ago, no more problems.
