Tasty Fruit

Karen Taylor sent me this picture of one of the "Burpee Home Gardens" varieties of tomatoes that was planted into a patio container. She sent me this comment as well.
"This is a 'Burpee Super Tasty' tomato. We've been enjoying some nice size tomatoes for a while now from this plant. They are really quite delicious!' "

New Look

Our blog has a new name and a new look! What do you think? Leave a comment and let us know.
Very soon we will be cleaning out the greenhouse of any 1/2 price annuals and planters to make room for poinsettias. Yes, Christmas does start in July here! Our first ones have arrived and are just very small. They will soon get potted up into larger containers and placed on the benches to grow and will begin flowering in October. By mid-November they will be in full colour! But that's a long way off and you don't want to think about Christmas!
