I got the idea late and seeded late but the test results were fabulous.
These are ,witihout a doubt, the most flavour filled delicious tomatoes I have ever grown!
I will be making special provisions for them in the ensuing gardens.
I think I made reference to them earlier but I can’t locate the thread right now.I also grew sweet 100’s in a tub and, as I forecast, I got more than 1000 toms from 3 plants.

Lately, when looking at my gardens, all I could see were the WEEDS!!Between the rain and being otherwise occupied on different projects, I haven’t really done much in them! And over the last few weeks, even to take pictures was a question of time!!!
So I wasn’t really enjoying my flower beds at all. Could not see the point of even trying: too much to do everywhere else!
Well, yesterday, I saw my place through the eyes of two young children (5 and 7 years young) and their mother! What a ...

As mentioned I am an ardent composter and have a treasure trove of black nutritious compost that dates back about 20 years. Each year I manage to turn part of it and add new stuff to the pile.These photos show my tomatoes growing in this material and the first flush of fruit is about the size of marbles.I expect to have about 500 sweet 100’s from each container over the summer.I finished filling the other container with the banana potatoes with compost so now we wait for flowering and t...

Ok everyone, here is what I was working on when I should have been doing the LumberJocks’ eMag. Here is what I was doing when I DID have a working internet and what was I left to do the eMag when the internet WASN’T working. (And yes, I did get the newsletter finished. I have a great boss—who gave me to the end of the week. Thanks Martin!)
Back to my triangle garden. A little history:
my goal for the year as to work on my vegetable garden and only one fl...

There two cast iron pieces were just too cute to pass up. I think they are perfect additions to the pond.
1) Daisy Duck
2) Fairy with Butterfly on Toe

AT THE BASKETBALL NET: In our backyard is the kids’ old basketball net – still up, just because! I have some plants around it, mostly basil and our Moonglow Magnolia.
On our last roadtrip I purchased this for about $15 and she looks quite happy to be here but I’m sure she’s worried about basketball net that is above her head! :)

The garden of 2008 has proven to be very informative. Because of all the spring rain, everything got started late. This year some plants were started indoors. This proved rather futile. It would seem there are aspects of this technique that are not fully understood yet. Then there was a problem with tillage. This update covers what has been found to date and other information that might prove useful to others. Images are at the end with descriptions.
