I just went to check on my tomato plant, and there was a black cat! It was about 10 feet away, and it was very pretty and fluffy...is this bad luck for the tomato plant? As for the plant, it looks about the same as it did when I transplanted it, though I don't see any bumps anymore, so that's good. It feels like it was a month ago that I put it in the ground, so I expected it to have grown a lot...but as it's only been a week, there's not much difference.
Also, I learned that Phipps Conservatory has a "Tomato and Garlic Festival" on Sunday, August 17th, for those of you who like tomatoes.

100 TOMATO PLANTS FOR 100 PEOPLE
What’s it all about?
One hundred tomato plants have been given to one hundred people. Each person who received a tomato plant has been invited to become a contributor to the One Hundred Positives Tomato Community Blog. This blog will serve as documentation of the shared experiences of caring for tomato plants over the course of the summer of 2008. Contributors are free to write as much or as little of whatever they want to write as long as the writing is centered around tomatoes and tomato plants. Sharing of information and tips about growing tomato plants is encouraged, as are questions. Stories of success and failure are as welcome as growth information, yield and favorite recipes featuring tomatoes. And post photos — we all love photos!
It is my hope that a harvest celebration can be planned for the end of the summer, where members of the One Hundred Positives Tomato Community Blog gather together with the fruits of their labor at a picnic party in the spirit of community sharing and tomato love. (I can see it now — tomato sandwiches, red sauces for pasta and ketchup, lots of ketchup — tomato games and bloody mary’s...)

cat is looking for YOU
One thing I’ve learned about cats (of all colors, sizes and levels of attractiveness) is this — in a garden space, cats tend to use the loosened soil around plants as a litter box. (There is nothing worse, in the entire world, than discovering this too late!!! — especially when you are weeding around the plant and you are not wearing work gloves.) So to deter this disgusting cat behavior, I place lots of pine cones on the freshly tilled soil. Many pointy sticks stuck in the ground work well too.
