Today I noticed the start of a third tiny pumpkin on Wanda, my wandering pumpkin plant. I put arrows on the photo pointing to each of them; the newest one is hard to see otherwise. Continue reading
Given that my experiment to grow fall tomatoes from seed failed, I checked out tomato plants today while shopping. At the grocery store. I think I tried plants from HEB (a popular Texas grocer) last fall, but I planted those in planters on my patio.
