My back and legs were barking quite loudly as well. Getting older is okay if the body would not protest quite so loudly...<br />I used to say that I needed more hours in the day, but no longer find that statement to be true. I now think that I just need more days for doing my outside duties rather than more hours in a day.C-ingspotshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17744931697050670013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31671898.post-23232485162512171012009-05-18T20:44:00.000-07:002009-05-18T20:44:00.000-07:00One year we put old tires in the garden so the tom...One year we put old tires in the garden so the tomato plant was in the middle, it was the best crop we ever had, learned it from an old farmer.Jody Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02822023313529125586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31671898.post-6615873255790316882009-05-18T20:40:00.000-07:002009-05-18T20:40:00.000-07:00We spent the weekend planting and cleaning out the...We spent the weekend planting and cleaning out the barn, or at least one side. I can totally empathize with you as my body is "bone sore and tired" today. We've had extremely hot weather (for us) so I wilt around mid-day.<br /><br />You can use Walls-O-Water for your tomatoes as I think they might work better than the barrels. We have a 40 to 50 degree swing between day and night temps here, even in the summer, so many varieties don't work here. Most of my tomatoes are planted in containers this year as corn and beans took up most of the raised beds. :)<br />And thank heavens for the "stand-buys"...there's nothing like having reliable produce from tried and true plants. :)Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16933105773412843275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31671898.post-61989735771951343922009-05-18T19:11:00.000-07:002009-05-18T19:11:00.000-07:00See I get itchy fingers because I never wear glove...See I get itchy fingers because I never wear gloves when weeding and then end up with rashes:) So I have never heard of Sweet Dumpling Squash.....please expand on this.

Produce well, easier to see to pick, and wonderful flavor. The pretty lavender-pink flowers are a plus. :-)Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01550786937196525098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31671898.post-30505279538719666912009-05-18T16:54:00.000-07:002009-05-18T16:54:00.000-07:00There's a book called the $64 tomato.

I had to laugh when I read your post it reminded me so much of it.<br /><br />In his defense though, nothing tastes better than a home grown tomato right off the vine. ;-)Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17995851593213427196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31671898.post-26168959903294540902009-05-18T15:55:00.000-07:002009-05-18T15:55:00.000-07:00I am trying the purple green beans this year too.....I am trying the purple green beans this year too....only one row though, I didn't want to go too crazy in case they don't do well.<br />I hope the tomato barrel project works out!Crosswinds Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05688096037530031617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31671898.post-83765715006831923292009-05-18T15:29:00.000-07:002009-05-18T15:29:00.000-07:00Egads!
