Tomatoes and Facebook

[torquill]

First: I still have heirloom tomato plants. They've gotten tall, and a bit potbound, so they should be planted as soon as possible. I know hopeforyou wanted one (or more?) and amanda_nye asked me for a good sandwich variety, but I'm not sure how many (they need ten-gallon pots).

That's two or three out of about a dozen I have left, though. One last call before I put them on Craigslist!


Second: If you're wondering why I de-friended you on Facebook (or didn't add you when you asked to be), you may have missed the announcement that I'm in the process of closing out my account there. It's nothing personal -- the only friends I have left there are the ones for which I have no other contact info, and I'm working at getting email addresses and such for those people so I can leave FB for good. Zuckerberg is a bastard who screws over his closest friends, let alone the public, and I don't want any part of that charlie foxtrot anymore.

For a good synopsis of the reasons I'm getting out, read this article. It's the tip of a large iceberg, but it provides a good feel for why some big names are fleeing Facebook.

Deer love to eat tomato plants, and if they don't take those down to nubs, they'll eat the fruit. Sorry. :/

I'm a little concerned about the zucchini, too. Unfortunately, deer-proofing techniques appear to vary depending on the deer involved, and fences have to be 6' double-stockade wooden ones, which is a bit hard to do casually.
