Good Morning.

 Time is so precious-do not waste it.     © 2008 by Ray F White.

"The sun never sets on Dad's Tomato Garden Journal.

I hope that all of you are feeling well this morning, I am feeling a lot better since I have slowed down just a little.

I am going to get our tea and coffee ready because I know that the most of us needs one or the other every morning. Have a seat I will be right back.

Everything is ready, I have done my part now it's time for you to do something for me, I need a big smile out of you as you drink your tea or coffee with me.

 

A few of you have asked me why I did not appear on the Cam more often, and wave and smile at you well I am going to try. I may not have my necktie on, just my usual work clothes, and don't expect to see my old grey hair to be combed every time.

Here are the times thatIam  going to try and be out there. Rain or shine. Dad.

Each morning  9 a.m. and 12 noon.

In the afternoon, 2 p.m. and 5 p.m.

These times my be changed when I am unable to be there. The times quoted are Eastern Daylight Time.  If you would want to call me, I will have my cell phone with me.    865-850-5763.

 I hope that I can keep that schedule.

     Please note:  When you log in to view Dad's Outdoor Web Cam, a small window will open up. To increase the window size go to the lower right hand side of the page and you will see an "Expansion" option. Scroll down to the number 2. After this a white window will open and it will say "disconnected," but just wait a couple of seconds then the web cam will open.

DAD'S OUTDOOR WEB CAM 

  ( The cam is working nicely this  morning, Dad .)

 

       A sign we saw in a retail store today:

          "Try Our Easy Payment Plan!

        100% Down and No Further Payments!

This is my thought for today.

 

"Taylor was a quiet and humble man,
but his testimony was loud and clear."

These words were spoken at Taylor's funeral on Monday. Jim mentioned them in his blog yesterday.  Thanks Jim for reminding me of them.. Dad.

Where Do Professional Tomato Producers Go for Info?

By Amelia Tucker

Although it is fun to search the web and find fun, quirky sites about tomatoes, there comes a time in every tomato gardener’s day that they need cold, hard facts about raising the best, most, tastiest of the tomatoes for their area.

Where do tomato producers go to find the serious stuff like production sheets, pricing, cultivating and what is new to the tomato industry?

Here is a good place for your more serious growers to start.

Click above.

Take some time to check out each link included.

Some ofit is a bit dry but allof it is good, solid information for anyone wanting to create a tomato growing business without the heartache of lots of avoidable mistakes.

Here in the West, there is not much point in growing certain types of tomatoes no matter how careful you are.

The season is just too short, unpredictable and downright mean for the more fragile types.

You can however, carefully extend the season using some of the tips provided in these links, to enjoy some of the best eating tomatoes possible. Even some that are not rated for your growing area.

This is a great site to bookmark and use throughout the winter as we wait for next year’s tomato harvest.
