I'm consoling myself by thinking that gardening is year round down here. LOL I really should do some planting if we are serious about a garden.

We have herbs growing right now, from seed, and watching the little seedlings come up brings out involuntary baby talk. ;) We LOVE <i>What About Bob?</i> except for at least one part that we never seem to successfully fast forward through all the way...ugh. Keep it up with those tomato plants! Baby steps, right? (Heeeheeeheee) Kathy,

Because of his paralyzing fear of well, everything, they end up tying him to the mast. His take on it: "I'm sailing! I'm a sailor. I sail!" Bob exclaimed joyously. In self-deprecation, he adds, "I just let the boat do the work." I feel that way about our tomato plants -- I just stuffed them in pots and make sure they get plenty of water, but it is God who does the work to grow them. Our first batch of plants is nearly 24 inches high. Lest there be anyone out there who can actually recognize plants, most of the seedlings in today's post are not tomatoes, but rather flower plants (we can't remember what kind, because we lost the seed packet).

We tried planting tomatoes in a big barrel outside one year (the soil isn't conducive to growing much here in sandy FL). We still couldn't make anything grow. The bugs ate them. Some much for our foray into organic gardening. I have a BROWN thumb! But boy would I love to have some home-grown (meaning not mealy or mushy) tomatoes that didn't cost a fortune.
