great germination rate. I did plant a good number of seeds directly from a freshly eaten tomato snd only five germinated. Very disappointed but realized these seed companies do keep testing their seed regularly.My tomato wasnt grown to make seeds and I hadnt thought of that until...now! lol

Peas came up....but most were pulled up and left....odd....

How seed is kept once it reaches a store shelf is likely important....not sure the seed is well cared for while in trasit or in a big warehouse. I bought seed back in 2013 from Tomato Growers out if Florida snd got 40%ish germination on some snd zero on others in 2016. And this is about 20...

Found a poor selection of blue potatos at Tractor supply....4-5 tiny seed potatos for 5.99 so these will be planted for getting seed potatos for NEXT year. Bought azamite at WOrms Way yesterday...I choked at the $44 for 44 pounds.... I was expecting something closer to the online prices for...

Glad to see others going this direction......I'll have someone to follow.......books are great but hands on knowledge is better.

Cold weather is sure to visit us again.....so we built a small hoop style green house 4 x 12 feet to house the 8 week tomato transplants. These are small determinant types that can manage in a small space without being overly crowded. At least that is the plan. lol Repotted each in to one...

whooot!!!! Second son and first son are grafting the bartlett pears. yeah!!!! Gives oldest a real life opportunity to use his whittling skills. Boy he is far better than I at making clean cuts and perfect matches for the whip graft. Another skill in the learning. For boy scouts the boys...

I grafted last night. Scions had started to sprout already so nothing I could do about that. Will see if any take. Figured nothing ventured nothing gained. I,m betting the dormant scion wood on just budding stock would have a better outcome than what I have done. Maybe what is on line is not...

hurray, you got the kidie pool planted!!!! What variety of tomatos??

THey have lost the understanding that they have their own two hands to change their world. Hard when big government has taken away the ability of the people to act. When there is MORE than enough land per person......I think of a now small group of native people still living in S. America...

LG are you by any chance close to Johnnys?? THAT could be very dangerous. lol

Cut a number of scions from the two pear trees.put in lg bag with shaving and then watered, fingers crossed. just need to order the root stock.

planted more peas, with an inoculant. beets. spinach. cold tolerant. Still winter here....can snow any time in April......

Thanks again Bee!! Just today I was questioning the use of only compost and no ground soil which is a good source of minerals....

Totally understand the jungle effect!! That was my garden LAST year. 2015 was the year I moved tomatos to a new area (previously used by other veg) and the 4 foot high, 2.5 wide tomatos became an entangled mess that even stakes and cages could not keep upright. A contrast to the previous year...
