I'm in the Garden





TOMATOES
EGGPLANT,  LEMON THYME & BASIL

Is there anything better than spending your Saturday in the Garden?  Boy I don't think so!  I look forward to summer in the garden, I spend my winters (really tough winters here in San Jose LOL) planning out my garden, I sketch out what I want to plant, I look over the planter boxes to see what needs to be repaired, I tediously build up my compost pile and I wish for rain to fill up my rain barrel.  What for you may ask..... for this!!!

AMISH PASTE TOMATOES  






   


The Amish paste tomatoes are the best tomatoes for making sauce that I have ever found.  My neighbor germinates these each year, and gives me a plant.  They have a pink flesh, very meaty and oh so yummy!  Thank you David!

        What garden wouldn't be complete without a few helpers!  Boo and Angel are our Kidcats!  They love being outside, watching the birds, chasing butterflies, chasing leaves (Boo's favorite-she will bring me at least 1 leaf a day, bite marks present and look what I brought you meows to go with it).
Thank you for stopping by and seeing my Saturday world!

Peace to you~

  1. What an awesome garden you have! We are just now getting tomatoes (we tried some San Marzano-style tomatoes, which are doing well) and jalapeno peppers. I wish we could do eggplant, but it just doesn't do very well for us at all. Love your garden helpers as well! Theresa
