A new kind of gardening...

...and not for the weak-hearted, either!

So we went to Lowe's and bought a few "distressed" plants (they're cheaper of course), and some tomato plants, and brought them home.  As I was trying to decide what to put in which pot, Dennis was digging in the freezer in the shop.

Some of you might know that we keep dead, frozen, rats, mice, etc to feed the snakes.  Of course sometimes they stay in there too long, get freezer burn, and become inedible.   Even for a snake.  Getting a picture yet?

So he brings me out a few baggies of frozen baby mice, and says "just bury them deep so nothing tries to dig them up!"  Fertilizer!!!   And I did. 

Time will tell if the tomatoes (Romas) taste  different (more like "Beefsteak") and I'll be sure to let you know if they, along with the geraniums, grow better with this rather unorthodox type of fertilizer.
