Happy Valentine's Day from Missouri. Grey skies here and hanging in right at freezing today. We are supposed to warm up to the 40's. If it does, I'll be checking on the outdoor winter garden under cover.
It was warmer yesterday, and we had lots of melting. The winter rye is still green with a little brown on the tips. The indoor lemon tree has lemons the size of ping pong balls. The basil is doing well, and the tomato is doing pretty well, except it's a little more spindley than I would like.
Hope everyone is doing well. Stay warm, and safe. Have a great weekend. God Bless.

The obligatory rebel tobacco picture. Porch shown for reference. The tobacco has been harvested from bottom, so it's short some leaves from previous photos.

I just turned on the grow lights, and low and behold there are 2 tomatoes about the size of peas on the tomato plant-just when I had thought I wouldn’t see that for at least another month.LOL

It’s still a pretty nice looking plant even minus the bottom leaves.

Our baby tomatoes are four- 4 1/2 inches tall.
Peppers slightly behind.

We still have mailboxes covered with snow around here. Stop with all the pretty pictures. It makes me sad!
To: afraidfortherepublic
I had to ditch the long pants for shorts today when I layered on my shredded leaf and grass mulch on the tobacco plot. In the foreground is my experiment with growing potatoes in cages.
We'll still get some freezing weather before stuff goes out in the big garden.

No chemicals, no taxes. I've got 180 tobacco plants up and ready to go into the garden after Easter.

Quit in March, 1986.
The company I was working for bought me a new Chevy Caprice. I couldn’t bare to smoke in it so I quit.

NO WAY! All plant pictures welcome and wanted.
I find the pictures cheer me up.
Just stare at them, and use your imagination to wallow in sunlight, and spring smells. Use your mind to overcome sad.LOL

Oh, I was just kidding! The only thing about the snow — if I think about it too long I start worrying about what lies underneath and will I be able to get the yard in shape before it flies again!
To: afraidfortherepublic
I am blessed with a long growing season. I can actually get two crops of some things in over the space of a year. I'll have spring tomatoes, and fall tomatoes.
Down side is that in July-August, it's hotter'n hades here.

After double checking my notes, I won’t be starting anything for transplant until the end of March. If the weather warms up, I might sow some red clover outdoors to turn under this spring.
I probably need to make a new bed for potatoes, as I want to increase the number planted this year.

I’ve forgotten — are you in the Hill Country? When I moved to TX from CA in 1972 it took us all almost a year before we could stand to work in the yard, it was so hot and humid. After nearly 10 years, I’d finally gotten used to it. We were in the Houston area.
To: afraidfortherepublic
No, I'm near DFW, on the sane side of the Trinity River.

I know! I have decided to quit worrying. Like the song: Don’t worry, be happy.LOL
