    Haven’t taken pics yet but azaleas. Clematis and roses are popping. Built new boxes and planted garlic and onions. Lettuce is up. Tomatoes are planted along with
    Squash, cucumbers and the herb garden. Jalapeño in the next couple weeks. I’m a gardening tool this year and a lawn mowing beast

    Did you plant starts of the onions or seed? Just wondering.

    I still need to see if there's any tomato plants out for sale. I need some supplies so I'll be checking tomorrow.

    My neighbors porch on the north side still had snow yesterday.

    My son has planted some radishes though!

    Tossed a few oldish slices of tomato in a pot and covered it up with soil a few weeks ago....Something is coming up?

    Two new bluejay pups hatched today.

    Tom, I'm presuming that the tomatoes were a 'hybrid' anyway tomato seeds have a natural coating that needs to be 'dissolved' that usually happens when a tomato rots and the acids remove the coating.

    I've had success with putting either unused tomatoes or left over slices in a plastic bag, let the things rot and then have seed to plant and have plants grow.

    HOWEVER at the end of the growing season I have had un-harvested tomatoes fall to the ground and then the next year have tomato plants growing.

    NOW!! As my recently deceased brother/who had a degree in Agriculture told me that there are three things that can happen when you plant a seed from a hybrid.

    1. The seed won't produce a plant (grow)
    2. The plant that grows won't produce a fruit (be sterile)
    3. The fruit that grows will be from a parent plant and NOT like the original fruit

    The tomatoes that I've had 'volunteer' didn't produce fruit like it's parent plant but the fruit it did produce was abundant and very tasty.

    Just a bit of FYI---

    'IF' they are indeed tomatoes, the stems should start getting some 'hair' on them.

    If I buy sets from the store, I always pick off the lower leaves and plant as deep as I can as those hairs will turn into roots.
