I think we should take Al Gore out and give him a good horse-whipping.

Tasha's Visit in April

Tasha and the little Lams came for a visit during the last week of April.

Tasha, Aliysa, Jace, Courtney and Spencer went to "The 3 Musketeers" at the Hale Center Theatre in SLC. That left Mallory, Zachary, Andrew and Abby with Grandma and Grandpa.

Emil and the Tomato Stalk

Below - Here is an update one week from the original tomato plant post. The tall plant is now on the right and it has grown about 6 inches, almost one inch per day.

Yesterday I started putting some club soda into the bottom box to enhance the CO2 level (increased CO2 in the atmoshere is not bad - it is what plants thrive on!)

I learned from a friend that there is a spray that will set the blossoms and enable the plant to produce fruit, which I have started using.
