Finally getting around to replying. Got bot my plots tilled and put into rows yesterday after adding some manure compost and peat mulch. I have a bunch of tomato plants in small containers saved from years past. My neighbor has a LOT of volunteer tomato plants in a couple of his veggie beds.

We are still in the low 40s with rain showers hanging in the better part of the day. Lord knows we need rain here in central Texas. The lake is about 50 feet low and I hope the storms west of here dump a few feet into Lake Travis. My parsley plants are growing like crazy. Our neighbor loves cooking with it and I told her to help herself.

I got blight last year..

The tomato plants that thrived were volunteers that I dug up from the lawn and planted in pots.

I neglected them shamelessly.

They thrived though, blight free. They had to be tough having survived the trip through my Lab's alimentary canal and over wintering out doors.

I saved seed from them last year.

I named them Labrador's.
