The five little things that made my week…
1. Healthy new tomato transplant in August… for tomatoes in November, and hopefully longer!
2. A freshly amended and seeded garden bed. This one will be home to spinach, lettuce, chard, and mustard greens.
3. Potting station in the backyard with Filius Blue pepper plants going into bigger pots.
4. Lemon Queen sunflowers feed the bees all summer and then the chickens in fall.
5. Photo shoot for Baker Creek’s forthcoming magazine on newsstands this fall… stay tuned!

August 9, 2013 at 3:58 pmTomatoes in November sound heavenly. I’m going to attempt to bring some potted ones inside, but I’m not terribly hopeful they’ll keep producing in my drafty house.
I have a few lemon queen sunflowers growing now, and they’re very pleasant, but I’ve got some red Velvet Queen seeds I’m eager to try out next year.

August 10, 2013 at 5:02 pmI just got some Titan sunflower seeds that I’m excited to grow next. In ideal conditions, the flower heads can get up to 2 feet in diameter!
