Planting Day!!!

Finally, I got outside and started planting...........all tomatoes today...........4 different kinds....3 of each and about 3 plants in each pot
I bought these seeds last year and planted them but I had to leave for Jim and by the time I got back,
they were all dead.  They are organic seeds from BH&G that I bought at Walmart.  Hopefully, I'll have better luck this year.
This is Cherokee Purple tomato; an Arkansas heirloom variety if I'm not mistaken..........I'm probably late planting these but oh well....better late than never............
 These are San Marzano tomatoes; great for sauce and canning.............
 This is Brandywine; another old heirloom variety...........these are not hybrids so I think I can save the seeds from year to year on all of these.........
and last but not least...........Red Cherry tomato...............
I know these produced last year because when I came home there were gobs of rotten ones all over the dead plant.
Do you garden at all or plant anything?  I have to use containers because of all the critters.  Do you have any favorites that you like to plant?  I'll be planting every day from now on! 
Here are some "tidbits".............
I have not tried these but I want to as they prevent you from having to vent your jars every day when you are fermenting things like sauerkraut etc........Here's the link and recipes

I've not tried this recipe but you can hardly ruin any recipe for minestrone soup and it is so good for you!  Here's the recipe

I don't know about you but at my age I am starting to feel my hips giving me 'twinges' so maybe these will help me stay limber.....some of them I may not be able to do........we'll see! LOL!  Click on picture to enlarge.

and for a little bit of humor...........

I hope you are safe, well and enjoying your home.  Happy Trails!!!

  1. Seeing you plant gives me hope that spring MAY come someday. It's snowing here today off and on. I went to the curb to bring the garbage cans back and I was covered by snow in just a few minutes. It's all gone again for the moment but the sky is darkening again.
    I need to try some stretching exercises again. Maybe it would help my back. Wishing you a great evening Sam.
    Blessings,
    Betsy

    1. I saw the weather and they said the west was getting more snow. Our winters are so short that I can't keep up! LOL! I've got to mow today if the mower will start. Spring is right around the corner. Enjoy what you have...I'd love a snow storm but it's pretty much out of the question. We got none this year.

  2. Those stretches are basic yoga poses. I try to do at least a little yoga every day. My doc thinks it's good for me, and so do I. Not just the stretching, but stress relief, and coordinating breathing with the moves for relaxation. My 71 tear old body can't bend as well as a 20-something body could, but I feel better after doing yoga. Once we can go out again, I plan to go back to class.

  3. Oh good luck on your tomatos this year. How lovely it would be to be able to step outside and pick your tomato for your table. And they taste so much better than the ones in the store.

  4. I like Romas the best. We grew the Cherokee purple one year I was not impressed. I am going to find a container and plant some lettuce this year. I am not fond of Minestrone soup or Split Pea....just vegetable or potato soup for me please! Yes staying safe here for another day :)

  5. It is still very chilly here and we have had so much rain our yard is a swamp. We really don't plant much anymore. Our yard is mostly clay and once July hits it hardens like concrete and cracks. We have to use city water to try to keep everything going. I think it is cheaper to buy at farmer's markets than to pay that water bill. We will have to see how it goes this year. I see alot of people interested in canning and preserving which might drive up prices.

  7. Oh wow, just think of all that fantastic pasta sauce you're going to be able to make when your tomatoes are ready. The garden centres here are all closed but are still accepting online orders. Apparently, seeds are very hard to come by now. I knew I should have bought some the other week when I spotted them in Aldi but I thought 'nah, too early yet'. Little did I know!!Happy gardening.x

  8. Try MI Gardener or Baker's Seed Co, which offers free shipping regardless. I'm sure you could also order from Walmart but they require $35 minimum for delivery, I think.

  9. Nice! I can't wait for planting weather here. It's still too cold in our parts.

  10. I look forward to seeing what your garden grows. We haven't "gardened" for years, but in the last 20 years or so I have tried container gardening with very mixed results. Mostly disappointing results. For several years now I've only grown flowers and I have them to rarely disappoint. ;^)

  12. I was a HIV-AIDS patient and I got it from cheating on my wife. It was sort of a payback but a week later I was told by a friend that the person who I cheated with had the HIV-AIDS virus and did not tell me. I was so stupid by not using a condom I thought since he was an old school friend he was trustworthy. But I was wrong. I cried and cried. Two days later, I got a phone call from my friend and he told me about a person who is known by another friend, who can help me. I could not let my wife know what I was going through. I finally got his email address: oseremenspelltemple@gmail.com and I emailed this man my story and he replied me immediately saying i should be calm and told me that everything will be OK. I could not come to terms with what I was hearing but then I concluded it did not matter because I was so broken I just needed help. I was going out of my mind literally. I was confused with what he was telling me, but I listened. He told me about some materials i need to buy that he needed to cast the spell and I said OK. I bought the materials to him, I sent down my picture to him and my positive result sheet and he replied me that i am going to be negative under 3days. I message Him every 2hours for 2day and I knew he thought that I was crazy but I did care I needed a shoulder. Behold, the third day he messaged me i should go for a test that i will be negative. My marriage could be broken because of a stupid mistake and my life was on the line. I remembered when I was going to get the results of my re-test I called him up again and told him that I was going to get my results today and his reply was “so" and that everything will be as he explained. I knew then that he was getting tired of me calling him, maybe I was wrong. Well I got my results and the first person I called was him - again. As he said hello I started to cry and cry. I could not believe it. I was given a second chance in life.This man is a great spiritual HIV/AIDS healer, his healing spell on aids healing is very powerful .please brothers and sister, contact Dr Ose oseremenspelltemple@gmail.com
