Spring

I know that all of us (the United States - it seems) are ready for spring.  

I have had signs of it show in my front yard recently.

Daffodil's are wonderful.  Notice the dead grass...yep.  I live in the panhandle of Florida, and normally our winters are very, very mild.  January, and February have been cold here...and lows are still in the 40's at night.

These have survived.  

Thank goodness.

Enjoy!

Tomatoes, Part Two

Yes, it is November, and NOW I have tomato blossoms.

YES!

And, some of these.

I will keep you posted.

ha.

Tomatoes, Part One

Tomatoes. I grew up with 3 or 4 rows of tomatoes (my parents garden). I hated picking them, helping to process them for canning...anything to do with them.

So, after 20 years of buying canned tomatoes, and after hearing from friends the benefits of growing them in pots....have decided to grow two of my own.

Hopefully, with the right tending...I will have plenty of tomatoes for a salad or two...and maybe enough to can several batches.

Now, to find a blog or two about canning!
