Her brain and energy need outlets!<br /><br />Sam, Poppy is a Decker Rat Terrier (registered as a Rat Terrier, the Decker strain is on the large end of the breed). We don't have to pay for water but we have a low-output well that we do have to be careful with. That's why I use soaker hoses and water lines with individual nozzles; all the water goes to the plants instead of evaporating and encouraging more weeds to grow.<br /><br />You only have THREE tomato plants in that big, beautiful garden of yours, Mama Pea???<br /><br />Don't worry, A; the friend going with me is a widow who doesn't go or do much of anything outside of her dog classes and work (which is on a horse farm where she's outside and pretty much alone).<br /><br />Jeanne, eggplant blooms ARE gorgeous but rather hard to photograph because they look down, not up or out. I think the third plant will have white blooms, as it is a white Japanese-type eggplant. Thanks for your kind compliments!Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01550786937196525098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31671898.post-53937376991833650262020-07-13T14:30:53.686-07:002020-07-13T14:30:53.686-07:00Great pictures!

But who do you suppose ate that one red tomato?? 😉😀<br /><br />I'm really impressed with the eggplant blossoms. They're simply gorgeous! I'm wondering what the third variety will look like. Do we get a pic of that one, too?<br /><br />I'd love to go along to Poppy's agility classes and see how it's done. I've seen the competitions on TV. <br /><br />Thanks for sharing!

And...Poppy will have so much fun with the classes! And it should prove to be a good "out and away" time for you and your friend. A win-win situation. Love the pictures of the garden. (What fellow gardener doesn't?) I have green tomatoes on my one cherry tomato plant and blossoms on my two regular sized ones. (I know, I didn't mean to plant any big tomatoes. It just happened!)Mama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649357184167949247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31671898.post-26218415424474625702020-07-13T04:20:28.566-07:002020-07-13T04:20:28.566-07:00What kind of dog is Poppy?

Now I live in AR and not so much plus I used to have my own well and here I pay for water and it is so hot sometimes I have to water twice in one day. What lovely blossoms on your plants. I planted late and I have cherry tomatoes but no ripe ones yet.<br />I love the picture of all the hay. I remember getting the hay into the barn for winter. It's never too soon! You are a busy gal! Enjoy your class with Poppy!Sam I Am......https://www.blogger.com/profile/17358633233189452832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31671898.post-62068357568543142092020-07-13T04:03:37.956-07:002020-07-13T04:03:37.956-07:00Training for Poppy, I would assume, would be a mus...Training for Poppy, I would assume, would be a must. Such an active and inquisitive creature that is ruled by her genetics - she would need training to be a truly happy dog, I would think. She certainly is smart enough to benefit from it.Retired Knitterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13662288640032813770noreply@blogger.com
