I ran away from teaching to the country to grow veggies. There are also some chooks and a pair of troublesome goats who were so much trouble they had to go! My simple green life isn't always as simple or as green as I'd like...but I keep trying!

Don Burke's Tomatoes

I bought a copy of the Burke's Backyard Magazine recently
and it came with free tomato seeds.

WINTER TOMATOES.



A couple of them are tall - one can grow up to 3 metres tall.
There is a black cherry and one that is supposed to set fruit
in temperatures as low as 3 degrees C.

I planted half of them yesterday 
and will put the rest in later in the month.

I am excited!
I think I might have to host a party
in the greenhouse in Winter...
a Tomato Party!
