  7. 12 TinyTim tomatoes and 3 mint to plant on the balcony.

    I'm focusing on small tomato plants that are easy to move and give away this summer.

    Started a bit late, but they will be ready by the end of April.

    A thousand miles with you
    I dried your tears of pain, babe

  11. #OnThisDay in 1969, American singer #TinyTim (37) and Victoria "Miss Vicki" Budinger (17) get engaged.

  12. #OnThisDay in 1968, 100,000 attend two-day Newport Pop Festival in Costa Mesa, California; performers included #AliceCooper, Canned Heat, The Chambers Brothers, Country Joe and the Fish, Paul Butterfield Blues Band, #SonnyAndCher, Steppenwolf, #TinyTim, The Animals, Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane, Quicksilver Messenger Service, and The Byrds.

  13. Light as a Feather

    For some reason, the song Tiptoe Through the Tulips, from the 1960s, popped into my head. I know—there are no tulips in the image. Maybe it’s because the cardinal appears to tiptoe up the slender branch. I couldn’t recall who sang the song, so I looked it up. Turns out, it was Herbert Khaury, better known as Tiny Tim. However, the song was actually written much earlier, in 1929, by Nick Lucas, with Tiny Tim later covering it. For those unfamiliar with Tiny Tim, he was known for his long, stringy hair and distinctive falsetto, often accompanying himself on the ukulele.

  20. Devastated to hear of the passing of Dallas record store owner Bucks Burnett. 🎶 ⏺️

    Had the unique pleasure of meeting him last year at his 14 Records store on Garland Road. We could've talked all day.

  21. Slow-mo footage of my newest #yoyo trick, “Falling Leaves”. The yo-yo is an Icarus and the song is by #TinyTim. youtube.com/shorts/N1Vbzqy08i4

  22. Mechanical part of the mission accomplished.

    Finished the wooden box from discarded fruit box on the street, added 2 black plastic bags that I had since I moved, put the 2 x 5L water bottles with their Tiny Tim tomato plants in them, used a T split for the airpump and tested it to make sure the flow was enough to keep the roots hydrated preventing them from root rot and will cover the box with aluminum foil before adding the solar panels and voltage regulators into the system.

    Already picked 5 cherry tomatoes from the larger plant and the smaller one has some 20+ flowers which I'm hoping to turn into juicy tomatoes soon.

    Took longer than expected, but I'm happy about the results.

    Next, getting the electrical parts ready.

  23. My first tomatoes of 2023 are probably going to be from hydroponic!


    Lost most of my Tiny Tim tomatoes to soil gnats and have (once again) only 4 plants. W in hydroponics and 2 in self watering planters.

    The one in Kratky is doing very well and it's healthy and clean roots are reaching down to where the nutrient rich water is. I may have to find a slightly bigger reservoir as the plant is very thirsty with all the tomatoes growing.

    Exciting to see the new season is finally starting to work after a bad start with bugs and silly mistakes.
