I
just bought the pink crossbody bag pictured
above. I don't carry much around in my purse
anymore. Instead of a big wallet, I now have
an aluminum credit card case/wallet that
holds my credit cards and driver's license.
It's small and handy. Most of the time
that's all I need along with a little cash,
a folding brush, and a pair of reading
glasses. The purpose of the aluminum credit
card wallet is to prevent RFID scanning
theft (though I don't think that's a huge
problem.) After I got it, I found it's very
handy to pop open and pull out a credit card
or drivers license. And they are cheap. You
can get one on
Amazon for under $3.

For
fellow gardeners, I have an interesting tip I'd never heard before. I've been
planting lettuce seeds every few weeks since the end of March and am harvesting
plenty of it. But the last time I put seeds in the ground, about 3 weeks ago,
they didn't germinate. I assume it was because of the heat. I asked at the local
garden center and the expert there told me to try 'an old farmer's trick'. Plant
the seeds, water in, then put a long 2x4 board on the row, right on the dirt.
Peek under it every day until you see sprouts, then take it off. The board will
hold the moisture in the soil, and will protect the new germinations from the
heat of the day. I told him I plant in blocks, not rows, so he said to use peat
moss. I just planted a couple new blocks, covered them with an inch of peat moss
and watered it well. We'll see if it works.
Another
problem that I didn't know about is with tomato plants. I have tomato plants in
pots on my deck. I water them daily. One day, I noticed some of the leaves were
turning a speckled blotchy tan, and dying. I suspected some kind of virus or
blight. So I cut off a few leaves and asked what it was..... sunburn! It turns
out that tomato plants in pots dry out very quickly and when that happens, the
leaves become dehydrated and can burn from the hot sun. I was told to add peat
moss to the top of the pot and on hot days, water twice a day. The tomato plants
in my main garden don't have this problem, just the ones in pots on the
south-facing deck.
