Who Needs an Outdoor Garden, Anyway!

[abracanabra]

It is supposed to snow this week.

Halloween hasn't even passed yet!

That said, the leaves are turning color, I've turned on the heat in the house, and I'm more eager than ever to work from home as much as possible (me and the cold, we've got a long-standing grudge match that came to a head last winter). Now, some of you know that I sometimes procrastinate and schedule long-term personal projects in ways that are not exactly ideal.

To make a short story shorter, I've got three tomato plants, an ever-larger spider plant (thanks, susanofstohelit!), and a palmetto (or whatever those small palm tree-like houseplants are called) on the pantry countertop next to the window, and there's another three tomato plants lurking in the library. Two of the plants have walnut-sized green tomatoes on them.

Well, if nothing else, I like the unique green scent of tomato plants. And the cats get to pretend that they are wild jungle cats and lie in wait for each other beneath the greenery.

It's supposed to snow? Jesus--the leaves haven't really started changing here in Nashville yet.

I mean, I love Minnesota, but that's a bit nuts.
