I planted some tomato seeds today!

[Iambjm]

There's a 27th on my calendar, what have you guys been drinking.

Patti skip the lawn and plant a ton of perennials, grass is highly overrated. I will be putting in the following:

Tomatoes

Sugar Snap Peas

Green peppers

Basil and Thyme

Squash

Pumpkins

And Lisa if you end up with too many tomatoes my Jim will take all your extras.

[JPSavage]

I'm planting 650 onion plants,25 tomatoe plants,17 different types of peppers, sweet to super hot.....Salsa time baby!

[Debbie K]

I think I'll just sit and watch my grass grow and raid all of your gardens for my summer veggies.

[Gary Crichton]

Lady Lisa I will be more than happy to take some off your hands, but it sounds like Sir Jim has plans. Good luck with the Tomats. May they grow large and sweet and great tasting.

ULT I am impressed on how you managed 2 days for your day. Way to go...... I am now cancelling April 27th.

Some of you people have a wayyy bigger green thumb than I do. I would love to plant some flowers but I think I'll ease into this gardening thing a bit more before that.

[Gary Crichton]

I with you Lady Lisa, no green thumb here, unless you count weeds You will do just fine I bet.

Oops forgot about the cukes and beets.

My trophy wife and I bought another house out in the country next to our daughter's horse farm. Our garden there has been expanding every year and we'll have several dozen tomato plants, that are already looking good in the sun porch. My daughter likes to grow heritage varieties that have very different looks and tastes. We've started growing different types of peppers. I started some Purple Dragon peppers a short while ago. Mixed with the Habenjaros, they would make great paint remover or the base for chemical warfare. We are also putting in 40 apple trees this spring. When I retire and we move out there permanently, I can see where all my spare time will go.

I believe it is three years before you can harvest any asparagus.

As for the yard work the best thing you can do is to get rid of the grass in my opinion. I went with the paver, shrubs and bushes look. To me it is silly to spend time fertilizing, watering, aerating just so you can mow it more often.

I agree!!! I would rather be smelling the flowers and eating the veggies than mowing the lawn.

[UdeLakeTom]

So how many eat tomatos right off the vine, like you eat an apple???

[glenn57]

me...me.....me....me!

[Gary Crichton]

I have tried eating them off the vine, but people started looking at me funny.I decided I was better off picking it first and then give it a bath and then eat it.

Is That better ULT.........

[glenn57]

i have people look at me funny all the time....dont care.... and look how i turned out.

[UdeLakeTom]

Do you use bubbles when you give them a bath??? What's wrong with wiping them on the pants leg?

[Gary Crichton]

Not a thing in my book. Just trying to make it preparely (new word) correct.

[Iambjm]

I don't like tomatoes that much, but will chow down on sugar snap peas and asparagus raw.

[Stan7600]

I like to stand over the sink with a nice ripe tomato and a salt shaker. Nothing better imo, unless you can add a fresh burpless cucumber. Stan C.

[UdeLakeTom]

I understand the sink bit quite well!!!

They don't know who needs a bib more..the Grandkids or Grandpa.
