Coz all tomatoes are horrible with their nasty seedy jellyfish insides and the taste of rotten rotted rot. The only thing they're good for is watching a bad speech. Nasty berry of Satan.

Thanks! As I suspected all along, such a blessing was being withheld from me!
Our tomatoes are flowering nicely (well, WE love them, danie ). As are the cukes. A basil plant is on the shopping list, as well as 2 zucchini plants. Note... TWO zucchini plants only. The wild blackberries are ripening nicely. We have so many there's no way we can pick even a fraction of them. I hate that they go to waste but we can't do anything more.

A luna moth I saw on the window this morning.
....they are almost ethereal in their beauty....
I know, this crappy tablet doesn't do it justice. I'd never seen one up close. Other wordly, for sure.
...as common as they are, I only see maybe one a year....
Sunday, I saw this black and white moth hanging onto a rag on the ladder. It is slightly smaller than a luna moth but not much. After a few minutes of staring at it I could see an image of an owl, an eye on each wing and the nib of a beak in the middle.
...natural defense against predatory birds...sweet!....
All of your pictures you post of your flowers and gardens are really outstanding!! It's inspiration in the best sort of way!
I dig hanging baskets. but edibles would have to be peppers & cucumbers. =)
It's nearly planting time, y'all. I want to plant marigolds this year because I like their fragrance and I want to see if they discourage mosquitos from hanging around. Also, I want to plant some cucumbers because they are easier to grow than tomatoes, right? I won't have to get seeds for those until May, though. If the weather keeps warming up around here we will probably see the usual wild daffodils and dogwoods blooming by mid-March. Is anyone going to grow anything this year?
I have blackberries, raspberries, seedless green grapes, and apples. They are well established in my garden, so don't do much except wait for them to be ready to eat. I did have blueberries and strawberries, but our winter last year killed them, and strawberries especially are really hard to kill.
My days of a big garden are done, nobody here to eat the stuff.
That sounds great! I have muscadines and blackberries growing wild along the back fence but I never know how much will pop up. My grandfather tills his garden every April but I have never so much as looked twice at a hoe (insert joke here) and usually try to support my local farmers market. This year I'm going to take baby steps. Do you like grapes? How nice it must be to just pick them from your own vine.
It's that plot of land where all your weed is...under all that snow.

I do have some popsicles that are coming in nicely........
I’m limiting my garden this year to just tomatoes, hot and sweet peppers, radishes, leaf lettuce and cucumbers. I did plant a blueberry bush, two different plumb trees and two different pear trees last fall. The trees probably won’t fruit for a couple of years, and just hoping right now they survived this harsh cold winter. Probably will chop down my last apple tree in spring as its got unruly and I'm tired of the mess and bees. The deer will have to fend for themselves next winter.
