Here's my tomato plant that is either Blushing Bride or Afternoon Delight (probably Afternoon Delight), so far, this year. I just thinned it, today. I planted Blushing Bride first, probably six seeds, but it froze, and I planted Afternoon Delight in its stead. So, it's probably Afternoon Delight...read more

I'm not sure what generation these are, whether F1, F2, or later, but here are my Black Krim x Garnet seedlings, so far, this year: I'm tagging them under other, since they might be F2+, and probably are. other_tomato

Here are my Black Cherry tomato seedlings, so far, this year: Those plants with them are volunteer wonderberries that I plan to pull up eventually. The plant has less sun than I would prefer. So, I plan to probably grow it again some time to make a better assessment. heirloom_tomato

Here's a picture of the second generation of the Ambrosia Red offtype I have. The first generation came from Gardenboy (of Tomatoville's) seed offer. The first generation was golfball-sized and yellow. After the first few fruits, it tasted great, and was extremely prolific and vigorous. It was p...read more

Here's a picture of the Amana Orange tomato that I'm growing this year, from Marsha's seed offer at TomatoJunction, this year. I've grown it from another source before, and liked it (however, it may have been crossed with a pink tomato then, and I thought I ran out of seeds). heirloom_tomato

And I'm growing it. Here's a picture of the F3 plant. I just thinned it to one plant, today. It has shown excellent greenhouse cold-tolerance and vigor, and great vigor post-transplant. This plant is from the fruit with a very long blossom scar. See these related posts: • https://www.gro...read more

I've had Yellow Wonder strawberries since 2016. It's a nice variety. It fruits and grows well. Germination hasn't been as abundant or as quick as Alexandria, but it's still about as long as some tomatoes. These are fruits I harvested, today. They're the first strawberries of the season, actua...read more

I'm trying to identify a cool grasshopper that frequents our property, although it's not the dominant kind by a long shot. It looks a lot like, and may be, Schistocerca shoshone, the green bird grasshopper, or green valley grasshopper. They are huge, though. They probably get over three in...read more

So, I was thinking today that pill bugs have a lot of legs. I figured they must not be insects. So, I looked them up to find out what they were, and Wikipedia says they're crustaceans. Then I found the following article: https://www.thoughtco.com/fascinating-facts-about-pillbugs-4165294 It...read more

Take a look at what QAGUY of TomatoJunction is doing to make tomato cages and cucumber trellises out of PVC pipe: https://www.tomatojunction.com/viewtopic.phpf=26t=1101 Although that's the real link (for post #19310), it doesn't work going to it from external sites for some unknown reason. 😒...read more

Did this flower make an appearance in the movie Frozen by chance? We've got some in the backyard. It looks pretty nice (the flowers are a much brighter white than the picture depicts):
