ENTRY # SEVENTEEN HUNDRED AND TWENTY-EIGHT

THE PICTURE ABOVE IS FROM 2008.

NOW I CAN HARDLY WAIT TO GET THE 2009 PICTURE!

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE,

I'm happy to be spared to see another sunrise, and I'm sure you are, too. We do not want to forget the clean sheet that has been given to us for this day.

.Dad's Tomato Garden 2009

Time is so precious-do not waste it..

"I've learned that keeping a Tomato garden is worth a medicine cabinet full of pills."

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

.

Do you think that we should have our tea & coffee first, be fore we start to think of something to say? It might clear my mind up a little. I already have it ready, so come on in and sit and help me get started . I really do mean what I am saying, writing a journal six day's each week is no easy job, it is hard to have something interesting every morning. If you will look at the top of this blog you will see that is # 1728 that is how many times that I have posted a blog. So help me out all that you can. DAD.

It is not so hard to talk and complain about the weather, it is either too hot or too cold. Too wet or too dry. We are starting off with a tempeature of 64, and I do think that it says we might have a little sunshine this afternoon. And I sure will be glad for that, I need very badly to get back in that garden and finish a few things that are important.

.

See I have neglected to ask about you, and to tell you how I feel. I hope that all is good at your house and that you are expecting to have a good day, a few big smiles early this morning will help, and just being content with the place that God has given us will do wonders for us.

.

I am feeling fairly good this morning, I did rest good last night, and I think that if I just go slow that I will make it. A good friend of mine Taylor used to tell me at my age to not run just" keep on walking." I miss him so much, he passed away a few month ago. Dad.

.

We do need to check on those 3 eagles that are seeing a lot of rain for the past few days, I hope that all is well up there and see about them. Let's go up to Eagle Web Cam and see what is going on.

.

Here is my thought for today.

.

" Happiness is possible only when one is busy. The body must toil, the mind must be occupied, and the heart must be satisfied. Those who do good as oppournity offers are sowing seed all the time, and they do not need to doubt the harvest."

This is from Apples of Gold.

.

I could use a few tomato questions, send them to me at any time, I love to help and my price is reasonable. Just a big smile from you.

Dear Dad, I have a tomato question for you. We live in New Jersey, the last frost date is May 15. We start our tomatoes from seed. We put just a few plants in the garden last weekend. Baring a frost do you think they will produce early for us? I so need a homegrown tomato as soon as possible. The temps lately have been in the low 50s at night around 60 during the day. Thanks.

.

Thanks for the question Sue, I am just like you I am so hungry for a good home grown tomato. It does take time to get these tomatoes, in good conditions it will take from 60 to 75 days depending on the variety. Some good hot weather will do wonders for us all. I know that this not a very good answer, I hope that you will keep us posted on how they are doing, a picture would be nice. DAD .

This is going to be all for now, hope to see you in the morning, if all is well. Keep smiling, be happy and try to make others happy, that is the important thing.

.

BYE BYE DAD.
