A new toy: I haz it. I spent my birthday money and state income tax return on a new camera, because it was cheap as such things go and also I got an employee discount for buying it at Lol-Mart. So now you're going to be subjected to the inevitable fumblings as I figure out how to use it.

CONSEQUENTLY I GIVE YOU SOME PICTURES OF MY GARDEN because it's easier than taking pictures of me, and you don't want to see me that badly anyway.

Here is the garden as you come out the back door; it is on your left-hand side. Left to right: Zucchini, green peppers, red peppers, Brandywine tomatoes.

DSCN0002
To your far left are the Brandywine tomatoes. Left to right: Volunteer tomatoes (tomatoes from last year that went to seed and germinated in their original pot), black cherry tomatoes, yellow cherry tomatoes. As you can see, the tomatoes badly need to be staked. I should listen to the lolmom once in a while.

Continuing from the yellow cherry tomatoes (far left), there are Pink Lady tomatoes (??--I think), yellow peppers, Japanese eggplant, and yellow squash.

Here are some tiny peppers on the red and green pepper plants. Moderately blurry. Srry gaiz.

This is our first Brandywine tomato. Obviously, it's not ready to eat yet, but I'm very proud of it because this plant, unlike last year's Brandywines, didn't get RIPPED OUT OF ITS GODDAMN POT BY A STORM. Not that I'm still bitter about that or anything.

DSCN0006
THESE ARE EEEEEEEGGGGPLAAAAAAAAAANTS. Not that you can tell, because I was swatting a mosquito away from my ear when I took this. Also, while my pallid, flabby hand is in evidence, at least you can't see my nasty-ass nails which need a trim.

DSCN0011
This is going to be a yellow pepper, but it's not quite there yet. Wow, this is blurry. I swear to God I had my glasses on. SWEAR TO GOD, MAN.

DSCN0009
These grow by our driveway. Lolmom tends to run over a lot of them because they grow fairly close to the ground and drop into the driveway.

DSCN0007
Just for [livejournal.com profile] momo, this is the Undead Zombie Tree, so called because it seems to be gradually dying and periodically drops limbs onto things, such as for instance my car and phone lines. There was a lot more of the Undead Zombie Tree when my folks moved into this house lo these many years ago, but over the years it has shed limbs. The house in the background belongs to our neighbors across the street.
