Frosty Thoughts

May Day! Does anyone remember May day baskets? Growing up we would pick wildflowers and deliver them to the neighbors knock on the door and run and hide. Growing up we lived in the mountains so our neighbors were quite a distance. I remember what fun it was.

The beginning of the week it was in the 80's HOT HOT HOT! Then last night the wind picked up and oh boy it got chilly quick. This morning we woke up to rain with sleet in it. Got to work and boy did it start to SNOW. Huge flakes it was beautiful to see. We need the moisture so bad. Not sure what the next front will bring but its chilly right now.

This year DH wants to try again to grow the big huge tomatoes. So we got 2 Big Boy tomato plants. And we also got a Lemon Boy tomato plant. We will also get a Sweet 100 these are smaller than a cherry tomato and 100% sweeter. And maybe one more tomato plant just not sure what kind yet. We also are going to get a Jalapeno, bell pepper and maybe strawberry plant.

This will be fun because we are growing everything in 5 gallon buckets. I will get pictures when we get them all planted. One year we grew tomatoes in pots put inside racing tires. The heat from the tires kept them warm at night. We are so excited to try this way of growing food.

Well better jump off gotta finish dinner BLT's

  Sounds like everything is going well with you and yours. I love them home grown tomatoes. Gary has planted ours. We have enough for us and family. Hope you have a wonderful week with lots of blessings, Janie

  Last year Nelishia and I had a flowerpot and mopbucket garden!  We got 70 tomatoes out of it.  We're definitely doing it again this year.

  Oooo! BLT!!! Now that is a fading culinary art! Glad to see you are keeping them alive. Also there is nothing quite like a beefstake tomato sandwich. Mmmmm.
