You must have some elves in the woodwork. It was a huge relief to see your tomatoes. Mine look just like yours. That's the one thing I'm crossing my fingers to harvest.Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06432035940956042729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694364001063554832.post-86157733938720125002009-07-28T12:43:18.318-04:002009-07-28T12:43:18.318-04:00Michelle, yes!

I'll have to try it with one of mine, just to see. <br /><br />Julie, I hope so too. I'm not worried though, because I didn't get those plants into the ground until last month. Around here, tomatoes can be planted a lot earlier than that. <br /><br />Maries Cottage, thank you so much for the return visit and kind compliment!<br /><br />Barb, this morning my neighbors were asking me about my "green thumb." I told them I really can't take all the credit, it just sort of turned out this way. <br /><br />Benita, thanks! I agree that this is a satisfying way to spend one's time. It's got me thinking that next year, I will do a series of plantings for various vegetables. Maybe I can lengthen my growing (and eating) season.Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02435811789823712254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694364001063554832.post-86691628308718917202009-07-28T09:24:53.398-04:002009-07-28T09:24:53.398-04:00My daughter was just saying that there garden is s...My daughter was just saying that there garden is so slow this year.

At first I thought she was crazy and only did one plant...but it did work for me. Feel free to look this up before trying though.<br /><br />good luck!Renee Nefehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08167893445846427824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694364001063554832.post-54380122051927142662009-07-27T23:12:25.121-04:002009-07-27T23:12:25.121-04:00Carrots.
