Bounty with a side of Butthead

I think I found a secret to creating a bountiful garden. Chicken sh*t. Yep, two whole bags. I made my garden "patch" a little bigger this year, and when I made it twice as deep, I added the manure between layers of dirt. Ta-Da!
In the back row, I have five tomato plants. An Early Girl, and four Roma plants. The hanging basket to the left, holds a Tom Thumb cherry tomato plant. The front row holds three banana pepper and four summer squash plants.
I planted the garden on May 23, and here is some of what I have ALREADY!
And now for a side of Butthead. Part of the reason that we put in the fence last year, was because of neighbor trash like this. We kept hearing all this shooting, so I stood on our porch stool and got this picture. He is shooting at the birds! Yep, they put out feeders and birdhouses - then shoot at them! I assume they are trying to dissuade the nusiance birds, but nature doesnt work like that. Oh, it makes my blood boil to even look at this picture! And then.....
...I noticed something in the picture. Go ahead - click on the picture to enlarge it to full screen - and then look at it for a while. I'll wait.

Notice anything extremely funny?

If you look on the deck rail ... to the left of the picture ... you can see the most tasteless planter-EVER! That's right-its a man's hand urinal! Now your laughing, huh? ***I love the irony in their plant choice ... pee-tunia!

First, let me say that I glad you are blogging again. I miss the pics/recipes/stories. Plus, I can catch up with you while I'm at work. :) I did find out yesterday, from the Ohio Bird Sanctuary, that shooting at birds is illegal. The bird we took in lasted all night and the next day until 11am. We got it there, the clinician picked it up, and it died in her hands. Can you believe it? She found a huge bebe in its wing, like from a bird shot/buck shot. I told her the story of my friend and her neighbor (this story) and she told me that it was illegal. You prob already know that, but I wanted to put that out there. Diva hugs!!
