Yesterday, here in Connecticut, Mr Kitty tried to stick one of my hanging planters in the ground outside the front window so I could hang a new bird feeder up for entertainment for the cats and myself. He finally gave up. Which is okay because I wanted to hang it from the awning on the porch anyway :-)

Still have some collards in garden, and some garlic, but nothing else is left. I did plan out where I was going to plant everything this coming Spring and Summer last night. This evening, I’ll go through my seeds and see what I need to order. I really want to try some of the little blue tomatoes this year. I think they look purple, but that’s just me :-) I did the some of the bumblebees and tiger tomatoes last year and they were very good. Also did a pink Berkley tie-dye that got lots of compliments from the people I shared them with. I do love to try ll those odd ball tomatoes.

Those varieties are good for "Urban Camouflage" for folks who want to grow a garden in the inner-city.
Some look diseased ,unripe , or sickly and will genereally be avoided by the general consumer.
Good call , and try to stay with the 'heirloom' varieties for perpetual seed production.
