| A little of this and that! |
No southern garden "is" a southern garden without the Tomato. And we love ours as if it were a member of the family. And coming in all shapes and sizes. We start them all by seed ourselves. And will give a "how to" next winter, in time for anyone reading wanting to do the same. Here's a glimpse of the joyful gatherings of this year's rainbow garden. We actually place as much as we can in color sections. Yellow, Orange, White, Green, Red, and Purple all heirloom tomatoes that are just sooooo cool. We grow around 200 plants each year. Very few boring red. You see those everywhere. And I will buy some red ones, but actually some other colors grow better here. White and Orange really do good. And besides this is for "them" my wonderful children. So bring on the wild colors and stipes and whatever diversity that will make them say "Hey Moma, look!"
Now people will say they won't cross. That is not true! We have crosses every year, but hey we're in to surprises anyway. And are going to try some of those seeds for new varieties. That's all old-timers did. So here the queen of the garden on her throne in our garden and our hearts gives us one more reason to "grow together". Everybody awaits that first ripe one, and who spots it first has an awesome honor badge, metaphorically speaking. Without further ado here she is!
