Well, I had to pick my tomatoes last week because it’s too cold, even in the greenhouse, for the plants to stay alive much longer. I took some pictures which I haven’t sorted through yet. I’ll update this post at a later date. Click the image to view the photos.

We picked our garlic from the garden today. It was planted last fall, in 2006. Now I don’t know what to do with all of it. Here are some photos of it.

Back by popular demand, here’s the latest report on the tomatoes in my greenhouse. The video was recorded on my Sony Cyber-Shot camera. The audio and video quality isn’t the best, but it’s better than YouTube and who cares; they’re just tomatoes.

I just did it. Steel White Table now has a “Gardening” category. Wooooh! Yah! Rock on!
I woke up early this morning, my first day off in about a week, and went out in the backyard with a cup of coffee. I hung out in the greenhouse and the garden until my coffee was gone. You [...]

I should create a new blog category, “Tomatoes,” although the tomato plants in this one don’t make an appearance until near the end. (Gotta build the suspense.) We’re testing out an embedded video player with this post. Let me know if doesn’t work for you.
The music is from Himalaya.

It’s as exciting as it sounds. I recorded this video on my Sony Cyber-shot digital camera (not a video camera). The picture and sound quality suck. Then I had to compress it down to a WMV before uploading it to YouTube, so don’t expect high quality here.
The tomato plants have been in my green house [...]

I’m testing out the Picasa Web Album slideshow feature. Let me know if this doesn’t work. Hover the mouse over a photo for more features like captions (I think).
These tomatoes (from last year) began as small transplants that I put out in the greenhouse during the day and brought back in at night for about [...]

Here’s an online slideshow of the tomatoes I grew this year. I had 4 regular tomato plants and 4 cherry tomato plants. The regular tomatoes eventually began to develop rot, so I had to pick most of them early while they were green. About half of the cherry tomatoes ripened on the vine; the rest [...]
