Isn't anything much better than that, is there? We've got
the basil but not the tomatoes yet...only little ones on the
miniature Red Robin plants.

Ick. Do your Red Robins taste okay? I've never eaten one I liked.

Both DH and I think they are LOVELY, very good taste.
Hmmmm...maybe this is a personal taste difference.


We've been eating Tumblers for a couple of weeks now, from the kitchen-
window plant. The 'maters have good taste. Not as good as Sweet 100's
and they're bigger (golf ball size), but a damned sight better than the little
red ball bearings that the grocery store sells for $3/lb.

How big do the Tumblers get?

I'm definitely going to be growing tomatoes over the winter,
in the big bay window in our living room. This has a 2' x
8' window ledge, and gets sun from three directions (it's
the sticking-out kind of bay window).

I'm starting seeds for Yellow Canary also, I'll be starting
them soon.

I always put leaf lettuce and a pansy in the planters next to the door of
our house. (Edible landscaping.) So we're eating fresh lettuce from
the planters and 'maters out of the windowsill. My garden is just kicking
into gear and isn't producing food yet. Soon though : )


We're somewhat ahead of you (Zone 5 here) but this spring
was so cold and wet that we're probably not MUCH ahead of
you this year.

My own gardening plans have also been sharply curtailed this
year by back problems (mine), major bummer!

At present, I'm only able to garden in big pots on the deck,
can't walk far enough to get to the garden, which my husband
is maintaining. So this year has been a major
disappointment, what with one thing and another.
