We already knew this

I have 69 varieties of tomato seed.

When a trade envelope arrives in the next few days, I will have 70.

I think the weirdest thing is that this doesn't seem like a lot to me -- after all, it's only 1% of the varieties known to exist, and 3.5% of the ones generally available.





I'm a geek.

(Proof that I'm a geek: I can tell you the color and general size of every tomato I have in my possession, and leaf type for most of them. Off the top of my head. Yet I can't remember the name of someone I've been introduced to half a dozen times at parties and cons. WTF?)

Olga's Round Yellow List

It's more of a list than a Chicken.

I've lost two roses, now, to some problem I don't understand. I was going to plant the replacement in the same pot as the older Climbing Altissimo, but with two diseases present and having lost Honor too, inexplicably, I'm going to have to start over with at least new potting mix.

I want to plant the rose in real dirt rather than a pot, but that means taking out the trees at the front of the lawn; I've decided that my dad isn't going to do it, after three years of talking, so I'm going to take a bow saw to them, then take out the roots with an axe and a mattock. Whoo fun. That should give me space to plant roses and herbs, though.
