And I did everything wrong!... [View all]

Last autumn we still had some tomato plants that sprung up in the compost pile that were still granting us their fruits. It was a cherry-tomato like fruit from some hybrid we tried or the failed Million Bell plant that wound up in the compost. They were really good…thought I’d save some seeds. Immediately went to NewHendoLib’s tutorial on seed saving.
Started good…then stuff happened and the seeds were forgotten about…checked in on them and thought I’d left them in the water too long…whew, they were mostly ok…laid out to dry…again…stuff on the homestead needed doing…forgot them. When remembered the seeds looked like a whole-grain communion host.
I kept them…why?…

Well here they are…
Ready for the greenhouse…



The Basil cloning is still coming along…we’re companion planting basil with various other veggies.



Speaking of the others…here’s the starts of various peppers and some roma tomatoes. Potatoes have been planted in the greenhouse already along with the cabbage.




Next Wednesday the low is forecast to be 33, lowest temp for a while…greenhouse should be safe.
Could this be the second year in a row frost may not be a big concern? The plots will thicken…with veggies.

Tomorrow is my wife’s birthday…how many guys would gift their spouse of 52 years a wheelbarrow full of custom mixed soil…and have her ecstatic over her present?
My compost pile awaits…
