"Fruiting crops, including tomatoes, need full sun most of the day for good production of quality fruit. Good drainage is also important. In high to medium rainfall areas (more than 30 inches per year) work the soil into ridges and plant on the ridge or build raised beds 12 to 18 inches deep. Plan on setting out at least one cherry tomato and 4 to 6 large-fruited varieties depending on the number of fresh tomato lovers in your family. You'll need stakes or wire tomato cages to support the plants to keep the fruit off the ground where it would rot. To insure even and efficient watering, you will want to put in a drip or soaker hose system for watering. Finally, count on mulch to keep down the weeds." .

Growing Smiles
A smile is quite a funny thing,
It wrinkles up your face.
And when its gone, you never find
Its hiding place.
But far more wonderful it is
To see what smiles can do;
You smile at one, he smiles at you
And so one smile makes two.
He smiles at someone since you smile.
And then that one smiles back;
And that one smiles, until in truth
You fail in keeping track.
Now since a smile can do great good
By cheering hearts of care,
Let's smile and smile, and not forget
That smiles go everywhere!.
If I would just post this link and not say another word
Sara's Dog Training blog what would you do ? I think that I know. This link has become so popular that everyone knows what it is. Thanks to you Sara and of course Oreo and Misty. You three do a lot of hard work for us. Did you say that school is out this week? I know that Oreo and Misty will be glad. Dad..
Web Cams and Skype Our granddaughter, Kara, has a new web cam. And it motivated Dad and me to also get web cams. We now have web cams installed and are learning to use Skype. I think it will be interesting to keep touch with some of our friends that live far away. We are looking forward to using the cams to keep in touch with our friends in Ireland, Italy, Columbia, Australia and Mexico as well in other places in the USA. If any of our friends would like to join Dad and I we will give you the way to get to us, DAD & Jim. Iim's is JRW5255 and Dad's is Dad6416.

I am needing some spring weather so bad, or at least weather dry enough to get my garden turned and ready for tomato plants. This time last year I had everything ready and waiting. April will soon be here and I do want to be ready this year, Dad.

This link above will take you up to the eagles nest. Someone said they have 3 eggs that you can see. I have not seen them yet. The weather has not been very good for them, but they are still doing good..To see the eagle's eggs you have to go to their blog site which is different than their cam site. It has great photos (taken from the cam) and interesting information about eagles, the nest, and now when to expect these 3 eggs to hatch. Click on http://eaglenest.blogs.wm.edu/ then scroll down and enjoy. Dad.
I am writing way to much this morning and I must stop, don't forget my side panel. There are several things that I did not mention, like Sumatra + bold, but you know that it is there. Let's all try to be Kind to everyone today.
