Working in the garden again

Today I had some help, My granddaughter Jozlyn, was sent home from preschool. So she helped me plant 11 more tomatoes. I recruited hubby to dig the holes. So I was able to get this row done in an hour or so. The other row took me a day and a half. I am not able to do as much as I use too. But any thing is better then nothing. I also started posting on my garden blog again. It has been 3 years since I last grew a garden. You are welcome to visit it at  http://itsgreenday.blogspot.com/   I uploaded my first garden video to it  today. I hope by blogging it. It will keep me going. And motivated to do more.

Almost garden time

We are so far behind in the state of Missouri. Weather is crazy. Wind, rain, hail, cold, tornadoes. All have been a part of spring in my state. I am one of the lucky ones.We just need to repaint the house. And fix a small leak in the roof.
 Thursday was warm enough to plant 11 tomato plants.  I am so out of shape, it took me all day to do this one row. The next day pain all over along with more rain. So I covered the transplants with plastic.
 Here is a peek at the ones left to plant, And I am so glad the ones in the ground are doing ok. We may have another day of frost Wednesday.
 Walking around the yard, I found many crawdad houses. This is the tallest one.
 Yesterday hubby and I went to the Mennonite seed store. I love to see all the horse and buggy's. I purchased the seed packets below, to add to my collection of Heirloom and organic seed. There was proof there too. Not all of them were found in the organic isle. Corn only had 1 yellow and 1 white. In heirloom. .   But could not be places as organic. Because there are no more truly organic corn seed left in our country. Gmo's have crossbred. and contaminated even the corn in Mexico. From what I have read on the internet. I am not an expert on this. So research for your self.. It is scary to think of the future of our descendants. All I can do is plant what I have, And save the seed and pass it on to my grandkids.
