Slow start

Off to a slow start today.

The brandywine tomato plant is either dead or went dormant. Not sure which yet. The leaves had dried up and fell off. Main stem still seems green. Waiting to see if it starts forming new leaves. Not sure what happened to it. Maybe not enough light, maybe not warm enough or maybe the soap spray damaged it. Been this way for a few days. This morning tried watering it with a very diluted ammonia and vinegar solution. May not help but guess it can't do any harm now.

On the other hand, the grape tomato is really resilient and seems to bounce back over and over. First the whiteflies and then the soap solution each did some damage but now it has all new leaves and even one tomato. Still trying to grow taller but it's past the window and the extended tomato cage, so there's no place for it to go. Think I should do a cutting or two today. First one I took from it is still growing.

They're doing work on the gas lines in the neighborhood today. Not sure what to expect from that yet. Few months ago was told that gas and water lines would be replaced, then curbs installed. Cool. Should raise the property values. Some of the neighbors may not like it but they seem to think they're living in a Mexican border city.

The ex is enrolling daughter in a karate class tonight.she should enjoy that but think she'd like gymnastics more. But gymnastics is more expensive and fewer places. I'll be following up to be sure ethics are taught before fighting.

Need to do lots of house cleaning today. Maybe actually get the office done.
