Tomatoes are the one thing I always grow. No matter how big or small our garden patch is, tomatoes are my weakness. Can't stand them store bought, tough no flavor ones. If I only set 1 plant out, that's the one I can't do without.

let me know how the W-W onions work out.

I have this problem with onions. I generally never let them grow long enough. I love chomping on spring onions flavored with a touch of salt.

I have had a lot of trouble getting onions to germinate and when I do get success, like 1 out of 20 or 30, I eat them.


The sets are different, those are reliable but not tasty and can bolt in a heartbeat.

I also got some green onions to put out so I wont be tempted to pull the W-W onions to early. MMM wilted lettuce/spinach and green onions. Big mess of greens...Im going to try canning some of the kale/collards/mustard greens. Will probably do another crop of those in the fall too.

Nice deal. I have a HUSQ DRT900 with Honada engine, thing is a brute. And also have and old front tine murray tiller that used to drag me around (front tine tiller is young mans work). Wished I could afford a PTO tiller for my tractor, but man they spendy.
