If misery loves company, it looks like I've come to the right place. ;-) <br /><br />Your chicken-coop-building story was funny too.

I ...Thank you SOOO much for participating everyone! I had so much fun visiting your blogs and see the corpses...how sad. It seems like tomatoes were the primary victims this month across the board. Oh how I miss my tomatoes...sniff...sniff...<br /><br />EG - death? your garden? wha...??? I'm fascinated by this beast you call EG Garden Death, but sorry it's come knocking on your door too. <br /><br />Kelly - those potatoes were about the size of grapes, so they went into the compost bin. I think raw potatoes are one of the things you aren't supposed to feed chickens. <br /><br />daharja - thanks for visiting my blog!<br /><br />Donna - I am so sorry you have been plagued with computer problems. I can feel your frustration with it all. And sorry to hear about your garden death too... <br /><br />Thanks again everyone! This always always always makes me feel better about my mad gardening skilz.

I was aiming for the stem of an overgrown borage plant and pulled the stem of the tomato instead. The leaves drooped for a couple of weeks, but it's slowly come back to life. <br /><br />I guess I do have something. I did murder the borage. It was growing too tall and wide and shading out the tomatoes. <br /><br />Donna, don't give up on your fern. I divided mine last year and the smallest piece is just now sending out a few leaves. If the roots have any life at all, it will probably put out again.Cherylhttp://www.cherylsgardengoodies.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5563051087162389665.post-5732275731467019002009-07-31T20:01:35.527-04:002009-07-31T20:01:35.527-04:00I'm unable to participate in GBDD this month b...I'm unable to participate in GBDD this month because of computer problems....one problem being that earlier today I was unable to upload pictures. Had planned to show you my really dead Japanese Painted Fern that was planted back in June. Was also going to share some really sick looking hostas in a bed that's as far from the house as can be and still be part of our yard. They've had no rain/since early June and it's not a pretty sight. Oh, well.....I'm off to see what everyone else has posted. Your pretrified okra was fabulous. Are you sure you didn't lift that from the dinosaur exhibit at the museum??donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06950476333013336671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5563051087162389665.post-42130358214745274922009-07-31T19:48:01.648-04:002009-07-31T19:48:01.648-04:00Oh lordy!
