Gardening in winter

I have flowers growing in pots, but today I planted greens for eating. They are growing in water.

Seeing plants grow lifts my spirits during winter. It is especially good when I can eat some fresh-grown greens, which will eventually come from this garden.

Next, I’ll plant some petunias for a splash of color.

Until next time, that’s all there is from Sunnybook Farm.

Pumpkin season

Ugly is the word for my pumpkins.

From a distance, they don’t look too bad, so they now decorate my front porch.

When I planted the seedlings in the spring, I had high hopes.

At least, I have something to show you today.

Triplet pear tomatoes

I don’t have much of a garden, but I do have some things to show you today.

The best tasting fruits and veggies don’t have to be perfect to adorn your dinner table. My odd-shaped tomatoes didn’t even make it to the table. I ate them as soon as I finished this video.

Later, I’ll use the rest of the tomatoes in a taco salad. M-m good.

These tomatoes were grown in a large pot. This shows that even in a small space you can grow a garden you can be proud of.

More from the garden

Homegrown tomatoes, m-m good.

If you haven’t grown your own, you’ll just have to go to a farmer’s market or a roadside stand and get some yummy tomatoes. It may be a couple of weeks before the real harvest comes in, but they are well worth the wait.

I bought my plants with a couple of blossoms on, so they had a head start. I won’t be canning any. I just like to munch them fresh off the vine.

A garden can be in a flowerpot so maybe next season you’ll grow your own tomato plant. Harvesting from there is easy.

Until next time, that’s all there is from Sunnybook Farm.

What’s growing?

My little garden has a couple of big plants.

Zucchini fried in a bit of butter was just right for supper.
