Long after we're gone 2020-08-13 - Taylor County, KY - Photo by Rob Collins, Q104 radio Morning DJ and philosopher. In many of the places I walk, almost nothing has changed. In these areas, there are no warnings of a pandemic, no sounds of protest, no apocalyptic prophecies, no politics or disgruntled misgivings, whatsoever. I’m increasingly convinced that much of the life that exists here will continue, long after we’re gone. Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

The case of the reluctant tomatoes 2020-08-12 - Central Kentucky - Photo by Pen. The plan, with 4 tomato plants in the ground just days before the last frost--and then another 4 in the ground to replace those around Mother's Day--was to be over-run with delicious red ripe tomatoes by mid-August, like in those fancy photos from the Farmers Market on the Square. However, as of August 12, all the 20 or 30 tomotoes on our vines so far are clinging stubbornly to their dreams of a starring role in a Kathy Bates film. If any gardenologists know how to talk to reluctant tomatoes, please use our comment form to send words of wisdom. Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
