Did you know that there are 50+ varieties of Clover? There's a lot more going on in my lawn than I give it credit for!

My lucky 4 leave clover gave me hives

What about Crimson?
Over and Over!
It’s here! It’s here! Tomato starting day is finally HERE! Now the hard work of ‘who makes the cut’ is before me this morning. I have room (indoors and out) for 32 plants. Here is a list of contenders. I will give you my final cuts later in the day:
Slicers:
Harvard Square
Grandma’s Pick
Delicious
Mr. Stripey
Beefy Purple
Belle of the Ball
Chef’s Choice Bi-Color
Chef’s Choice Orange
Italian Goliath
Bush Blue Ribbon
Celebrity Plus
BushSteak Hybrid
Paste:
Sabelka & Sabre (Thanks, Mom!)
SuperSauce
Fresh Salsa
Roma VF
Cherry:
Black Cherry
Valentine
And I almost always buy a ‘Sungold’ or ‘Sunsugar’ plant (Bonnie Brand)
Plans for this season are more paste-types. I have plenty of Salsa, but the pantry needs more V-8/Bloody Mary Mix as well as Tomato Soup and Tomato Jam.
Any extras just get canned for soups and stews in the winter months. My Mom and her ‘Girl Gang’ will be out to raid the slicers a number of times this summer-into-fall. I’ve trained them to NOT pick the paste-types! ;)
Good Saturday Morning Diana and thanks for sponsoring this thread!

I can actually remember back to the time when I was really young and had time to look for 4 leaf clovers!
Weather here in Central Missouri was very pleasant, for the most part, over the past week. Then came the weekend and with it some very bad weather. In Misery alone there were 19 tornadoes confirmed on the ground, 12 people killed, massive property destruction. I’ve heard reports of up to 40 dead overall in Misery, Arkansas, Mississipi, and Alabama, along with several more in Texas/Oklahoma/Kansa due to wildfires and dust storms. Very ugly business.
We were spared the worst of it. No damage to buildings or livestock. We spent half a day cutting up deadfall and hauling it off to the sippy hole. Lots of people not so lucky.
I’ve got lettuce planted in the little greenhouse, and I started watering the ground beds in the greenhouse to get them ready for spinach seed. I’d have planted that yesterday but I don’t have any seed. I’m going to swing by Lowe’s later today when I’m in town for my PT appt to grab some lumber to build a couple raised beds. I’ll get the spinach seed while I’m there and toss it in the dirt after I get home.
It feels good to see the ‘move the garden’ plan finally coming together...
