what you grow with others and you shall feed them for a short
time. Give them seed and teach them how to plant and grow it
they shall feed themselves for a season. Teach them how to
save seed from what they grow and they shall feed themselves
for life.
For your enjoyment I have
listed a few great web sites, check them out. A lot of great folks own and opperate these places, so enjoy.
Black Krim Tomato
5/10/08 Nothing ever
looks or tastes as good as what you grow yourself.
A Barbados Dahlia and Homestead
Tomato Plant
6/15/08
I can't wait to see how this Dahlia comes out the
sprout disconnected from the tuber durring shipment
and I put it in this pot. It has grown an inch since I
planted it. The tuber itself hasn't produced any more sprouts
but with TLC there may still be a chance.
A Red Tiger Lily and A White
Currant Tomato Plant Anglong With A Dahlia
6/15/08 The red tiger
lily is one of my dreams come true. It took me two years to
track a tiger lily down and get ahold of it, I couldn't find
one locally so I sent away for this one. With luck this one
will be the mother of an entire bed full.
The
white currant I started and gave to one of my sons for his
sixteenth birthday. He really loves fresh tomatoes so I
thought it would be fun to see what he does with it.
I am waiting to see what this dahlia looks like, it was
unmarked, how exciting. There are so many different ones that
I couldn't even venture a guess, so this one and eleven more
are keeping me glued to my seat. Thanks Goria.
Purple Passion Hybrid Tea Rose Bud
6/15/08 I got this bush
last month and it already has its first bud, what a great
month.
Telegraph Improoved Cucumber
6/15/08 A shot of a few
of my cucumber plants.
A few cacti
6/15/08
No garden can be complete without some cacti.
Self sown groundcherry
6/15/08 This
one came up on its own this spring, I planted some there last
year.
Century Plant
6/15/08 This is the mama
of all my century plants. Ever since I put her there she keeps
putting them out, she must really be happy.
Spearmint
6/15/08 A whif of this
in the morning and you will definitely wake up fast.
Moonflower
6/15/08 Finally enough rain to
get these guys growing.
 
Purple Passion
Bloomed this morning
6/17/08 It's such a tiny
little thing, down right cute and what a smell. It truly does
have a lemon smell to it. Way too cool. I can't wait to try
the tea it makes.
 
Two out of
three Cherokee Purple Tomato Plants
6/17/08 They seem to be taking
the heat real well.
The first spent
moon flower of the year
6/17/08 A long awaited beauty.
I always enjoy sitting on the porch in the evenings when these
guys are in bloom. The smell is wonderful and the night life
they stir up is fun to watch.
 
Intrigue Rose
Bush 6/17/08 I was beginning to
think this one was a dud but here it is with sprouts, happy
days.
One of three
Nyagous Tomato plants 6/17/08
I am dieing to see how the babies taste, they look so good in
the pictures I've seen I just had to try them.
Rosemary
6/17/08 It doesn't look like
much when small but it smells beautiful and works great in my
cooking.
Small
Marketeer Cucumber 6/17/08 A
decent tasting cucumber, what more needs to be said.
A Red
Tomato Ripening 6/17/08 The
heat hasn't beat this tomato plant, in a couple of days I'll
have a fresh tomato for a sandwich.
Sweet Basil
6/17/08 Lots of self-sown
basil, it sure smells good when it rains or I water.
To count how many friendly people vist. Come back soon.
