About Searcy's Searcy Arkansas City Limits

Perhaps being married to a blogger makes you fair game. Of course, he didn't ask for it when he married me because he didn't know I'd become a tattler on a blog site. But he's stuck now.

What is his latest thing to do?

He went to the barber shop and gathered human hair to put around his six four tomato plants!

This guy has decided to grow a garden on our vacant lot. All he can handle with his golfing schedule are tomato plants. So this year so he got out the post-hole diggers and dug four holes. Around the holes he put plastic (that's the blue stuff shown below) so that there would be a minimum of weeds for him to contend with. He purchased four tomato plants and put them in the holes along with four NAILS.

The nails, he says, is to keep the cut worms from eating his plants. The nails snuggle right beside the little plants.

The plants are now about a foot high. When he is not golfing he checks the plants. He came in screaming the other day about the deer eating the tops off two of his plants!! Furious he was; the nerve of those deer! You can see in the pictures below where those brazen deer nipped them.

So he announces that he's going to the barber shop to collect some human hair to put around his tomato plants! He came back with a bag, spread it around his garden and is now waiting to see what the deer do.

Pictures follow. The hair looking stuff is.....well, it's hair! The newspaper? Holds the moisture in around the plant, says he. Why is it around only one plant? He had to go to the golf course, of course.

Methinks we're in the market to buy tomatoes again this year!

I must admit I'm not real crazy about Wordless Wednesday or Speechless Sunday or Meddlesome Monday or Trecherous Tuesday or any of the others that I've missed.

BUT!

This picture needs no words. My husband comes from a family of cattle lovers. They have cows right in the city limits and are god-fathered in because they've been there for so long. We've witnessed two burning barns that quickly became burned barns.

These cows are wordlessly expressive!
