What's Happening in the Garden Today?

The number one reason to grow
your own. The weather this year
has made tomatoes very happy
and these Brandywine tomatoes
were shot just after harvest.
The larger fruit had a diameter of six
inches before it was sliced, sprinkled
with Murray River Salt Flakes,
and devoured.

Brandywine is an heirloom variety that
dates back to the Seed Savers Exchange
in 1882. It is considered to be one of the
best tasting large tomatoes.Creamy
texture, thin skin, and wonderful flavor. Organic seedlings were purchased from Streambank Gardens.

What's Happening in the Garden Today?

Found this Praying Mantis on one of my tomato plants. Strange, but adorable. The triangular-shaped head and face of the praying mantis bears an eerie resemblance to some supposed extraterrestrials, in particular, those portrayed in various photographs and illustrations of the “crews” who occupied the UFO that supposedly crashed near Roswell, New Mexico, in 1947.

“The sun, with all those planets revolving around it and dependent on it, can still ripen a bunch of grapes as if it had nothing else 
in the universe to do.”
