2009 seeds available

I just received an e mail from Rutgers. The Ramapo tomatoes are available again this year. I've decided I have too many squirrels and not enough direct sunlight to venture to grow them again this year. I'll probably grow cayenne peppers and maybe cherry tomatoes, or as a Chinese American co-worker called them, "cherry potatoes". You can find my other blogs on my profile. Happy gardening!

A new blog

I've started a new blog, Hard Times. It's getting off to a rocky start but be patient.

My Christmas Cactus

Fifteen years ago I acquired a teeny Christmas cactus from Texas. Today it is still alive and blooms only once a year, at you guessed it... Christmas. Here is my first attempt at using my new toy, a webcam. Perhaps it will figure into future blogs in the future. Season's greetings, Mr. Mustache

Just a quick hello

Just to let you know I've written another witty, insightful yet nostalgic post for the Sixties.
Happy Halloween!

The end of the crop

So that's the end of the tomatoes for

this year. Took these off the vines

before Jack Frost visited these here

parts. Come next year, a new blog.

Don't have a theme yet so I'm open for suggestions. Happy Halloween!

My favorite blogs

While waiting to do the Balcony Tomatoes finale, I thought you might enjoy going down memory lane and looking at some of my favorite Mr. Mustache blogs. Here are a few of them.

Lives is sort of cute and can be applied to all jobs.

Miss Reingold is one of my favorites and should bring back memories to all the Met fans who have a place in their hearts for this New York brew.

Less has been written about the pre Beatles sixties than the longhair era. Here is a nice piece about that world when adults discovered albums.

Finally, like all greatest hits collections, I have included new material! A new post for the Sixties blog about a bed and the Beatles White album.

September Song

So we have one or two tomatoes with potential on the vine. Two or three peppers left. Starting to come to the end of the tomato season. Don't worry. We're not done yet. When the last tomato is eaten and the stalks are in the dumpster the blog will be over. Notice how tomatoes are starting to go down in price at the Farmer's Markets?
