✨Right before Sparta Strength kicked off at the Malden Senior Center, Lucy—one of our rockstars—handed me a bag of fresh tomatoes from her garden 🍅. Grateful for the friendship, the community, and the everyday acts of care that make this space more than just a workout

“Signature events include a parade, a 5K race/walk, tomato contests, a spaghetti-eating competition and a polar plunge. The festival mascot, Stew the tomato, will be waltzing throughout the events for meet-and-greets and photo-ops.

The Pittston Tomato Festival Parade, now in its 42nd year, is held in downtown Pittston on Saturday at 11 a.m. [23 Aug]… Floats of all kinds will meander the town’s center along a two mile route.”

So Americans will now have to pay a 15% tax -- er, tariff -- on vine-ripened, greenhouse-grown Mexican tomatoes. Will they instead buy the field-grown American tomatoes that are picked green and then gassed to ripen? I plan on harvesting as many of my own organically grown, vine-ripened, ungassed tomatoes as I can & continuing to buy locally grown tomatoes at nearby farmers markets. I really doubt these new tariffs will be able to bolster US tomato growers' bottom lines. #tomato #tariffs #mexico

Heute Abend haben @theworldof_andrea_su, @janusode und @bash2 auf einen gemütlichen Tomaten-Gurken-Mozarella-Salat 🍅🥒🧀 getroffen und über das Fediverse und die Zukunft von momou.social gesprochen («Momou!», es sieht gut aus! Das Essen und die Zukunft!).

Inzwischen haben wir Mastodon auf Version 4.4.1 aktualisiert und den #FediFetcher als Ergänzung installiert.

... und wir sind alle der Meinung, dass das Fediverse-Einführungsvideo von @_elena der absolute Hammer ist. fediverse

Guerrilla gardening at the senior living place!

A resident put a tomato plant in between the standard "landscaping".

We were curious how this would play out. Would it be allowed to grow? Would it be ripped out?

The answer is in: A grow cage appeared about a week ago and the first tomatoes are on the plant.
