Nothing gets a veggie gardener's attention more than that.
I’m starting to think about what to plant this in my garden, and year after year I always arrive at tomatoes as a good starting point. Part of the reason I think is that there is such a wide variety of plants you can experiment with, which always seems to peak my interest (check this tomato link out if you are interested, Casey’s Heirloom Tomatoes of Airdrie; that’s right they’re local and have an amazing seed catalogue). And also if you’re a bit of a scatter brain like me you are bound to miss some watering days, which tomatoes seem to be somewhat forgiving of in my experience, or lack there of. They are a great looking plant when they start to flower and develop fruit, and have an amazing smell that just screams summer.
Following the scatter brain mindset it seems that every year I have to at minimum refresh my growing acumen, but more realistically re-learn how to do all things gardening; from holding a trowel to turning on the hose. In this vein I searched out and found an amazing link for growing tomatoes online, it is a free e-book that has all the A-Z’s of tomatoeness, A Rough Guide to Growing Tomatoes. Enjoy, it has really helped me get ready for my great tomato quest. Hopefully this helps get you geared up for spring tomato season.
