Topsy What-y

Opa gave us some tomato seedlings. I think the whole upside down tomato planter "as seen on TV" is pretty cool, but it looks cheap. So I followed the family motto: why pay for it, when you can build it. I had a 4x4 and some 2x10 laying around, so for the price of the hanging pots and the metal hangers, I have my upside-down tomato plants. I drilled holes in the bottom of the pots and me and J put the plants through the holes. A little newspaper to hold the soil in. Some potting soil. And I even planted some basil and such on top of the pots. Mel says it looks very "HGTV". I think I want to add a cap on top of the post for asthetics. or a rooster wind vane...
We'll see in about 2 months whether gravity defying tomatos are really all the commercials make them out to be.


Sorry for the crude pic... it's dark out- but you get the idea

Spring Break '09

Our camera died a while ago, so we haven't posted in a while. We didn't even get any pictures of Easter. I finally broke down and bought a new one for our trip to the beach.
We had a great time with Chuck and Colleen, Camille and Cadence. We spent a couple days hanging out at Ft. Walton Beach enjoying the waves and sun. The kids had a great time. We got to visit the Air Force Armament Museum and saw a lot of great sights there as well.


Enjoying the sun!

J, chillin' on the beach
