Hello Billy well then I'll tell you all about myself. I live in a
small town in East South Dakota called Mt.Vernon. Second of all I
didn't make the page my friend in Colorado did. To tell you the truth
I've never done organic gardening until this year. And i have no idea
what tomatoe to plant in Utah because I've never lived there in a dry
climate. But I would recommend the celebrity tomatoes because i
planted a whole bunch of them last year and made ketchup and about 10
jars of it. I couldn't really tell you that much about other than the
seed needs to go in rich soil and have plenty of water and sunlight.


And how does this differ from other tomatoes?

If you have lots of money, rich soil, warm temps, lots of sunlight, and
available water, you can easily grow a garden. When you lack any of
these elements, however, you require a gardener. A gardener to explain
what garden soil is, and how to achieve it cheaply. A gardener to give
you the options for dealing with to much, and too little heat. A
gardener to suggest plants that would produce a crop with the available
sunlight, be it 12 hours of full sun or 6 hours of mottled sun. A
gardener to suggest plants with low water requirements like garlic or
Opuntia. Of course this wouldn't be a gardener with just knowledge from
classroom gardening, but from hands on experience, i.e. experience from
gardening in Toronto, Calgary, Seattle, Los Angeles, Phoenix, Austin,
St. Louis, Atlanta, Charleston, Trenton, to Halifax. And then when you
have your plants growing like crazy, suddenly they are attacked by
insects that you've never heard of before. What to do?

The other benefit here is that this is a labor of love, gardeners
helping gardeners. Thus we needn't worry about profit margin.

I
just gotta ask you though what's with the whole Benito Mussolini???


The Bambino? Modern fascism was created by Mussolini (you can look it
up, if you like). President Isenhower explained it once
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8y06NSBBRtY It would only take two and
a half minutes to listen to his warning.

Then you might notice that half of our war zone military are private
contractors. Spying is being done on Americans by private companies.
Voter roles are being purged of legitimate voters by private companies.
Private companies are feeding, and housing OUR military (on no bid
contracts, I might mention [don't touch the pipes in the showers]).
Public mineral rights are sold cheaply to private companies.
Environmental and safety requirements are waived by the government for
private companies. Our government meets behind closed doors with the
directors of private companies. Private companies donate money to the
campaigns of OUR national leaders. The USDA is more interested in
selling agricultural products than it is in protecting public health,
and the FDA is too over taxed, under funded, and has insufficient
authority to protect the public health from the likes of Tyson (wants to
irradiate the crap on chickens so you won't get sick, but the crap will
still be there), Monsanto (selling dangerous GMOs [yeah, I know,
redundant], Cargill [thanks for the HFCS, and dirty meat], et al.

Anyway, that's the short answer.

Anyways I'll try to get up pictures of the old tomato garden. Thanks

We ALL could do that. What would be the point, or do you have a problem
that you would like to exhibit? Otherwise, just pitch in and help answer
some questions from gardeners.

By the way, how tall was your largest parsnip? I swear that mine is
topping 6' now. Gotta get a picture. The sunflower is around 7', and the
potatoes are pushing 5' easy.
