Little Green Hiiros Tomatoes

Lots of blossoms on the Tomatoes

We are getting tomatoes in the greenhouse, and I am pleased! I am looking forward to fresh tomatoes on my plate every day, enjoying their vibrant color and rich flavor. I think the first picture is from a cutting, and I am unsure which variety it is. The next two pictures are tomatoes grown from seeds I saved from the tasty Hiiros variety I purchased at the supermarket. Some of the plants are producing large clusters of blooms. If the F1s taste good, I will save seeds from the vines I like and keep growing them. I will share more later on the characteristics I find and do a taste test. I am unsure if they are hybrids or not. If they produce well, I may even make a delicious homemade sauce, simmering them with garlic and herbs.

The Garden Path

General gardening

I am thankful for our garden path, which not only keeps our feet dry but also leads us to our most valued garden stops. Walking down this path each day fills me with gratitude, as it leads me to my greenhouse, where I nurture a variety of plants. I often pause to appreciate the view even the rustic earth tones and shades of gray during winter.

Escape from Stress: a short garden story

I remember one day I heard a rustle in the leaves and stopped for a moment as a chipmunk fled. A pecan fell and loudly hit the roof of my potting shed which made me jump. I smiled as I realized it wasn’t anything to worry about. My little dog raced by barking as I chuckled seeing that the chipmunk had definitely escaped capture. I decided I too would escape into my garden and enjoy the passage of time free from stress!
