Hey #Gardening people - we're thinking about ordering some #heirloom tomato plants from the #Chicago #Tomato Man. We are complete novices at this and need some guidance.

- We need to grow in an apartment (dwarf or tabletop) or on our balcony in a south-facing building with lots of sunlight.
- We do a lot of #Indian cooking.
- We don't have a lot of experience with tomatoes.

Here is a link to what is available:

chicagotomatoman.com/new-page-2

Thanks!

In other news, GIFs are fixed!!! (After being broken yesterday). 🎉 This kind of responsiveness to the real issues of today is unmatched — which is why we're officially endorsing @dansup for U.S. President 2028. 🇺🇸🔥


Both GIFs and video posts still seem to be displaying with strange cropping on the mobile app but at least we can post them again after yesterday's scare. And full frame content can still be enjoyed on the desktop version. 🧩🧩🧩😎

This is one of our favorite designs. As molten silver flows through this casting and crystalizes, its geometry captures potential energy. When the investment is broken away, that energy converts into motion, and the twisted form unravels. It then has to be annealed and re-twisted back into this spiraling maze.

This is my wife’s favorite recipe book, handwritten by her mom and full of generational family recipes. This is her favorite recipe, as evidenced by the wear and tear, baked every year around the holidays. I know this piece of family history isn’t going to last forever, and I’ve digitized every page of it a half dozen times to ensure it lives forever.

A handwritten recipe page for "Peanut Butter Jam Bars" with ingredients and instructions. The page shows signs of wear, including stains and watermarks, and features a list of ingredients such as sugar, peanut butter, flour, and raspberry jam,l.

@alyssa @Pollinators @feinschmeckergarten We have the Heritage Seed Library where members (£21 per year) can select six seed packets from the annual seed list until February 2025.

Seeds are only able to be sent within England, Wales and Scotland and not Northern Ireland or overseas due to trading difficulties directly arising from Brexit.

We need people in Great Britain to join and then make use of this organisation.

Garden OrganicGarden Organic | How the seed library worksThe seed library holds over 800 varieties of seeds, including rare landrace varieties adapted to specific growing conditions, heirloom varieties saved over generations and varieties no longer available to buy.

"Heirloom vegetables" - When cooking I've increasingly been coming across local vegetables like eggplants and tomatoes referred to as "heirloom" varieties and found it fascinating so started reading ...

"Heirloom refers to a plant that is open-pollinated and at least 50 years old. Open-pollination is only possible in non-GMO (genetically modified) plants and plants that are not hybridized for commercial production. However, not all non-GMO plants are heirlooms"

Look at this behemoth of a tomato one of our Great White tomato plants produced. Bigger than my hand it weighed in at 1lb 5oz or 600g for you metric folks.

The other pic is of it, plus two others from the same plant. One only a bit smaller and the other more normal tomato sized.

This a fun variety. Will definitely grow again next year.

A giant yellow tomato dwarfs the hand holding it.
3 large yellow tomatoes sit in descending size order on a cutting board with a person's hand and lower arm next to them for scale.

This is a photo from 1913 of my grandma and her siblings in a hammock in front of some hollyhocks in bloom. Looks like pole beans too and I'm not sure what the other bushes are.

It would be about this time of year and exactly 3 years after they showed up here from Sweden. Maybe a Midsummer photo.

I've taken better care of the hollyhocks since I first saw this photo.

An old black and white photo that has been scanned many years ago. It shows 4 kids aged 10 months to 8 years sitting in a cloth hammock. Behind them is a hollyhock plant that appears to have just begun to bloom in front of a two story house. Along the house's covered porch are bean plants growing up twine tied to the porch roof. From the left are 3 girls and one boy on the right.

We lost her back in '95 but every single year about this time
Something silly as a sandwich brings her back to the forefront of my memory
I can still hear the way she laughed or the way that sweet tea tasted
Grab a chair, boy from over there these beans ain't gonna snap themselves
