Tomato, Seeds, and Cakes

Here is my first picture of a tomato grown from store bought tomato ,seeds scooped from a big beefsteak Tom. It is nearly as big as its parent tomato!!!

Another one is changing colour too. I think I will make a BLT to celebrate, my windowsill ripened tom's..

I finished five days of work today. I had a violin lesson, then I baked fourty eight little cakes and a victoria sponge cake. Jessica (chopper noppers) is one year old today.

The house will be full and there is enough food to feed a small army. I have retreated from baking, its nearly 2am...

I got some FREE seeds today from a lady at work. I now have packets of sweet pea's, poppies, cornflowers, nicotiana, and best of all Heuchera Sioux falls, I was eyeing up the Heuchera's in the garden centre as plants for the long border. Dual purpose with flowers and great foliage.

I will reply to all the comments tomorrow (in a few hours really). My pansys have started to germinate and one solitary hollyhock.Im determined to grow a few Hollyhocks but have been dogged with bad seedlings so far. As the saying goes if you dont succede at first try and try again... Failing that go to the garden centre and buy a small plant ha ha..

Two days off bliss, to recharge my batteries, take lots of pics, and see what needs doing in the garden. The amount of day light is lessening so i need to be organised. The colder nights have started, the frost will be soon upon us. Bad for summery plants but good for dormant bulbs to start yawning before they wake up.
