Name:
An Earth Day Birthday at My Earth Garden!
That’s right! It’s not even the end of April yet and we’ve had an early birth here at MEG HQ! The first tomato of the season has sprouted forth and promises to be beautiful and delicious! I had to post this photo as soon as I discovered the baby because I knew that Shibaguyz would be drooling with envy and I couldn’t resist!
This is my first experience growing the hybrid tomato plant variety called “Patio” but it is definitely a hearty grower. I am generally not one to grow hybrids but my late start in the season had me grabbing the first seedlings I could find and this one one of the first. Thankfully I supplemented my three hybrid tomato seedlings with four heirloom tomato plants all of which are thriving already!
Happy Earth Day everyone!Ă‚Â Be happy and be green!
I am envious.
Mine are doing OK but not anywhere near ready to produce flowers.
The longer you’re around you will come to realize that I am obsessed with tomatoes. I’ve grown at least fifty varieties over the years in all sorts of ways, so I always tend to have at least one early producer each year. It helps that I’m in the South, too.
WHAT?!?!?! FOUL!! We call FOUL good sir! You are cheating by means of living in a MUCH warmer climate than we. FOUL!! This isn’t over yet… we’ll see you in the tomato patch! *throws down bedazzled gardening glove and storms off in a hasty but collected and stunningly executed huff while flipping the brim of his floppy hat jauntily from his eyes*
Hey, I told you boys I’d let you adopt me but NOOOOOOoooo.
Now you shall see just how my garden grows!
Still… cheater cheater… *runs away*
Don’t hate me because I’m an early riser!
