garden thief!

On Tuesday I hit peak tomato, harvesting 22 (!) cherry tomatoes. There were several more that were almost ripe that I expected to pick the next day.

But the next day they were gone, all of them. I found the half-eaten carcass of one green tomato on the ground. I couldn't tell what ate it. I wonder if it was the rabbit I saw when I went out Tuesday evening to harvest some basil.

Both plants have some small green tomatoes, so I guess a second wave is coming after all. (I had come to the conclusion that one of them was not going to.) Some of the peppers are ready, some more almost ready, and some much younger and still green. I have no idea what the seasonal yield is supposed to be on these pepper plants; I was expecting a little more activity, but maybe they're a later-season thing.

[SCA] event-planning: planting a seed

Hey, SCA people...

SCA events are customarily on Saturdays (or weekends centered on Saturdays). This is, as I understand it, to allow Sunday for the people who traveled from out of town to pack up and go home and be ready for work/school the next day.

There haven't been any in-person events for a few months, and in the US there won't be any before February. There are, however, events happening online on a fairly regular basis. The SCA is fundamentally a social organization; of course the events will move online rather than shut down entirely.

Online events on Saturdays are inaccessible to those of us who keep Shabbat.

However, nobody needs Sunday to drive home from them, either.

Do you suppose we could have some of these online events on Sundays instead?
