Me, Pony and Shana
Shana and I went to the Master Gardener discussion on vegetables including tomatoes. We walked around Plumb Farm and saw the turkey, ponies, cow, lamb, chickens and garden out there. We didn’t realize it at the time, but we asked the Master Gardener to take our picture with Shana’s Cell phone. Right as we were squatting to get this picture, the pony turned around and pooped right by our faces. Then he turned around and we got this snapshot. It was pretty funny.
After talking about gardening again with the Master Gardener, it made me think about what to do with all those extra tomatoes I have waiting to be planted in the greenhouse. There is no way we can plant all of them (probably 20-25 planters full) unless we dug up our yard. (Which I would do if Britton would let me, but he won’t.) So I posted an ad on craigslist. We’ll see how many people come by. Hopefully all these gorgeous tomato plants will be used as fruitfully as possible.
Tomato Plants taken out of the greenhouse
Hi. I read a few of your other posts and wanted to know if you would be interested in exchanging blogroll links?
Ok, that is a lot of plants!!! We are going to be doing an indoor garden this winter. Might as well make use of all the wasted space in the basement 🙂 Good luck getting rid of all those.
We sold 5 plants today. An indoor garden sounds interesting. Are you going to have special lighting so everything grows with the 9 hours of daylight we get in the winter?
Actually from what I have read I shouldn’t need extra light as long as I place the plants near a window and the temp doesn’t dip below 60 degrees. I’ll have to stick with certain plants (lettuce, tomtatoes, etc.). Since the furnace inadvertantly heats the basement it never gets below that, even at night. The biggest concern for indoor gardens is actually water. It gets so dry in our homes during the winter that the plants dry out very fast.
On a sidenote.. I can stick my hand from the basement all the way out to the exterior front of the house. Now that is quality!!!!
