Solanaceae Wishes and Lycopersicum Dreams




We were away last weekend, taking advantage of the nice weather to drive down the coast so I could get my lips sunburned*, and while we were gone I dreamed that I came back and all of my plants had wilted and died, and it made me very upset. Which has me a little worried now: Is there such a thing as a crazy tomato lady?

Also, on a related note, one of the pepper plants had to be banished to the outside, due to it's having developed a large and thriving aphid population. I'm hoping a swarm of ravenous ladybugs will move through the area this afternoon and take care of them for me. After all, I've always tried to be good to them.


*Ouch.

Not to be discouraging but I would put the other pepper plant outside as well since where there are aphids on one plant there are probably aphids you can't see on other plants.

Good point. I went over it this morning and squished all the ones I saw (there weren't many) but when I checked it again this evening I found more. So, out it goes!
