Tomato germination

Here is a photo showing some tomato seedlings. It looks like very
good results even from a seed packet or two packed for 2005. My saved seeds all are sprouting except Camp Joy and I have no idea why that one batch was not viable. But overall there will be many tomatoes this year! All excess plants will be available for sale at Triple Oaks Nursery in Franklinville www.tripleoaks.com

Here is a photo update from today 3/29


Outside, I sowed my side garden over the past two days from left to right: Crimson Forest Bunching Onions, True Greek Oregano, Fine Leaf Chives, Primor Baby Leeks, Oriental Giant Spinach, Catalina Baby Leaf Spinach, Bloomsdale Long Standing Spinach, Munchener Bier Radish, Carrots: Yellowstone, Nantes Fordo, Danvers, St. Valery, Canary Yellow Chard, Vulcan Red Chard, Italian Silver Rib Chard & Charlotte Red Chard. More to go in on that side soon.


I also set up a netting on the fence and sowed Oregon Sugar Pod, Oregon Giant Snap, Sugar Snap & Mammoth Melting Sugar Pea the length

  1. Hey Joe,

    Great seeing you today. Your produce looks like its off to a good start. So our conversation earlier has inspired me to plant a small garden in the bed along the fence in the back yard. Maybe add one of those half whiskey barrels you mentioned too. My grandfather grew up in Italy on a piece of land that is still a farm in our family today. He had an incredible garden every summer in Penns Grove. I figure this is my way to keep the generations connected a bit. Not to mention some tomatoes, peppers and greens will make nice neighbors for the Fig. I'll look for your advice this summer as I try it out. Thanks for sprucing up the yard this week and I look forward to seeing you at the market this summer. Cheers,

    Drew
