#gardening report: the tomato and pepper harvest is really slowing, but the kale, collards are bountiful. And, the sunflowers, zinnias, calendula, and ageratum are blooming really well. #gyo #GrowFoodFromSeed #flowers #share

Didn't grow the grapes to make the raisins, but otherwise it's 100% homegrown. #gyo #GrowFoodFromSeed

Couple of people have asked about growing potatoes in general and in pots. I'm not an expert, so I always point out that many suppliers have reference articles on potatoes.
So here are my chitted potatoes ready for planting. You'll see the supplier name on the tag, but probably there are dozens of suppliers. I'm growing Yukon Gold and Red Norland #gyo #GrowFoodFromSeeds #potato

#gardening report: awaiting soil to dry out a bit, and night temps just a little warmer, so transplanted 53 tomato seedlings into larger pots to wait for another week or two. Some are for me, other for our daughter, and others for several friends. #gyo #GrowFoodFromSeed #share

#gardening report....I shared that my favorite seed catalog had arrived. Now, I have alphabetized my seeds and will go thru them and my spreadsheet for counts. Then, a third or fourth pass thru the catalog to formulate an order. Lastly, reorganize the seeds into planting order....some will get started soon. #gyo #GrowFoodFromSeeds
