Home Grown Tomatoes in the flower bed

This year I planted some small tomatoes in my flower beds and I have had neighbors stopping by and asking, "What are those little flowers with the bright orange and red berries on them?"

They are, of course, referring to my Tiny Tim and Red Pear tomato plants that I interplanted with my vinca and marigolds. The berries (tomatoes) are quite showy and offer a curious sight to the neighborhood dog-walkers.

I have other veggies planted with the flowers that I'll share with you another time. You may also find some references to my gardening efforts in my monthly articles in the Farming News each month. Go to ALAFARM.com and search Home Grown Tomatoes.

We all had a great time at the Alabama Farmers Market last Saturday. George Paris and Harold McLemore were my guests and the main topic of green was "plasticulture". Farmers Market Day was a fantastic event and we are looking forward to working with the Alabama Department of Agriculture and Industries again in the near future to promote another event; this time from the Fairview Farmers Market in Montgomery.


Coming up on next Saturday's show will be Kitty Rochester. She has been a guest on the show many times and is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to how to grow and the uses of herbs. She's a Master Gardener and I call her my personal herb Guru! Be sure to join us!
