'Super Fantastic' Tomatoes, August 6, 2018

Harvest Monday, Our World Tuesday, and Ruby Tuesday Too

Prentiss County, Mississippi, USA, May 7, 2018

I bought a 'Super Fantastic' tomato as a young plant on May 7th. Be honest now, and tell me the truth. Could you just walk away from a handsome tomato plant with such a promising name?

Prentiss County, Mississippi, USA, June 25, 2018

It is an indeterminate type tomato, and the label says: Height 6 to 9 feet. Here it is seven weeks later, and taller than I am. (The tomato plant on the left is a 'Better Boy').

Prentiss County, Mississippi, USA, July 31, 2018

I had a bit of trouble with blossom-end rot, so it was not until July 21 that we were able to get tomatoes from it. The 'Super Fantastic' tomatoes are firm and nicely shaped, and only a little smaller than the predicted size of 10 ounces.

"Super Fantastic' are very good sliced for tomato sandwiches!

Have a wonderful week!

Coleus, October 16, 2017

Foliage Follow-up, Macro Monday 2, and Ruby Tuesday Too

The 16th of each month (the day after Gardeners' Bloom Day) is for spotlighting foliage plants.

Prentiss County, Mississippi, USA. October 13, 2017

Coleus can be grown in containers or in the ground, but they are not cold-hardy. Many leaf color combinations have been developed, giving gardeners almost any color they fancy.

They are very easy to grow, and thrive in shady areas.

To propagate Coleus cut off a few stems, put them in water, and they readily root, giving you new plants in a week or two.

Have a wonderful week!

Flowers, July 31, 2017

At the end of each month I like to pause a minute to look at my garden.

Butterfly Milkweed is putting on its second flush of blooms. The first blooms were in May.

Turk's Cap is just beginning to bloom.

Black-eyed Susans are wonderfully bright, cheery flowers!

The Coneflowers have been in bloom for the entire month and are beginning to look a bit ragged, but for long-lasting blooms they can't be beat!

This is a new purchase - Astra Blue Balloon Flower.

A dear friend gave me these Purslane plants a couple of months ago.

And I have lots of birds in my garden. This is an Eastern Phoebe in bright morning sunlight.

I hope you have a wonderful week!

Independence Day, July 4, 2017

Our World Tuesday and Ruby Tuesday Too

Baldwyn, Mississippi, USA, July 2, 2017

Temporary choir stalls were set up on the steps of the Methodist Church for an outdoor concert before the fireworks began. All the towns in our area scheduled their celebrations at different times, so it was possible for a person to go to a half-dozen or more activities. From Friday night, all through the long holiday week-end (and ending with fireworks in Tupelo tonight), there have been parades, concerts, marching bands, children's activities in the parks, community picnics, and lots of fireworks!

Chili's, June 20, 2017

Tupelo, Mississippi, USA, June 19, 2017

For a limited time Chili's is running a lunch special for ten dollars: appetizer, entrée, and dessert (drinks not included and there is tax, of course, so it adds up to a few dollars more). My husband and I decided to try it yesterday, and the food was very good! I had a mixed green salad, BBQ ribs (Texas dry rub), French fries, chocolate cake, and iced tea. My husband chose the same meal, except he had chips and salsa as his appetizer instead of salad. We both thoroughly enjoyed it!

Have a great day!
