Tomatoes are Falling, No Wait They're Not Falling, But It Is Fall Tomato Time
Almost forgot to mention, its fall tomato time. I havested 3 yesterday and 2 today. Haven't had any for months, so I can't wait to see if they have that awesome taste of spring tomatoes. Maybe a tomato and egg sandwich for breakfast tomorrow morning?
My Back Hurts
It was a busy day in the garden today. I pulled out the last of the Sun Jewel Melons and Yellow Crookneck Squash. I then tilled and rehilled those areas, some unplanted areas, and some areas where I was trying old seeds. In all it was probably around 150 of row that was reworked and planted. On the carrot side I put down Carrot Nantes Coreless, Chateney, Danvers, and Imperator. On the beet side, I planted Detroit Dark Red, Detroit Red, and Early Wonder. I also planted some Red Creole Onion seed. First time I have tried onions from seed. I planted about 20 Onion sets also, some yellow, and a few reds that I found in the wheelbarrow from last year. Last, and most certainly least, I planted some radish from that old 2003 seedlot named 'Easter Egg II Blend.'
So, now I am tired and my back hurts, but it hurts good.
Oh, I left the Mexican Melon and Canteloupe. Yeah, there pretty much done, but there is so much fruit left on the vines, I have to give them just a little longer. I am not sure I could have gone any longer, anyway.
