Well, I've had quite a few tomatoes, but they were all small. I think the Topsy Turvey thing works OK - just think I should have bought different tomato plants. The ones I bought were knock-offs of big boy and beef eaters. I may try again next year with the real thing.

Well, I got lucky today. I've been looking for a Rear Tine Tiller for quite a while, and today I found a Like New, 6HP 17" one with a years warranty for 350.00 Cash and no sales tax. I jumped on it and now I'm waiting for another Indian Summer to Break My Garden with it.

Good deal Calvin! It's time to get the ground ready. Several trips over the garden with the tiller before planting time will work wonders.

Sounds like a good deal Calvin. Say...think you could come up and do a little spot for me? You may want to get out of all that snow and ice that's coming anyway.

I'm adding 2 more raised beds this year which will give me a total of 6 all 4X8. Also buckets for tomatos and maybe some other bushy type plant. We have 6 berry's planted and 6 fruit trees which are still 2-3 years from getting measurable production. Nothing happens overnight. I wish my thumb was a couple shades brighter green.

I've got Potato and Onions planted. Planted 2 Grape Vines last year and pruned them a while back. Put the Cuttings in water and trying to get them to root. Ordered Blueberry and Huckleberry bushes to plant this year. Saved Corn, Okra, Beans and Pea seed from last year.

It's way too early for gardening here Calvin. We plant potatoes on St. Patties day, but just about everything else has to wait until late April. Never know when a hard freeze will come around these parts.
