I LOVE SPRING! 03/03/2010
 Today I would like to talk about my starter cups. The tomatoes are up!!! I have 20 beefsteak tomatoes up and 9 Polish Linguisa tomatoes up. I planted 24 and twelve, respectfully. I am now waiting on the peppers.  I can't help but think about (lust over) the thought of those beefsteak tomatoes on (or in) my BLT's, or tomato sauce, salads. They give me hope for the future. This tiny little sprout is what I have been waiting for. I have about 500 quart canning jars I am hoping to put a big dent in by canning up the little beauties that come from these sprouts. I read that if you blow a fan on these while they are small, it will help make the stalk strong. Get them ready for the big winds we get around here. If they are good enough...I hope to sell some, too. Maybe up on the highway would be a good place.  This is what my kitchen table looks like now. There are only 2 kinds of tomatoes and the rest are peppers. I want to grow my own peppers for my hot pepper relish. There are green, red yellow, orange, and purple sweet peppers and jalepenos, pablano, serrano, banana, and a couple more I can't remember right now. (Darn that some-timers disease!) I would gladly give up my table for a garden full of the best veggies around. I have a bunch of cups to fill up with dirt for other veggies. Then there are the ones I will plant directly in the ground. I can hardly wait. I LOVE SPRING! CommentsLeave a Reply | ArchivesSeptember 2011 CategoriesAll |
