Green, Pink and Purple tomatoes at Tomato Days

What a day.
Sadly right off the bat I had to bury one of my old hens. I knew she hadn't been doing well lately and had tried nursing her back to health, but it was not meant to be. She died last night and I dug her a deep grave to bury her this morning. This is hard for me and not something I am good at  at all, but it had to be done. So rest in peace dear soul. I found myself looking for you today, but you were gone.
I began working in the front hoophouse, moving ordered plants around, and heard a bit of noise. Trust me, at my home this isn't particularly unusual, there are lots of us and we can be noisy.
But when I walked out of the hoophouse, something caught my eye on the front lawn.
Lo and behold. It was my tres handsome piggy Joey munching on a few things in my flower garden.
He's such a nice boy and when I called him, enticing him with a bit of grain, he trotted back to his little barn and fenced in area. He's very accommodating.

Tomato seedling season is in full swing for me. I'm busy getting all the advance orders pulled together and it's turning out to be a monumental task. There were so, so many this year, for which I am very grateful.
Definitely the most popular tomato this year is Pineapple, followed by Stupice, Big Rainbow and a few of the new ones like Blue Berries, Blue beauty and Purple Bumblebee.
You'll have a chance to grab some of these when you hit my sale on May 17th, 18 and 19th. I also keep selling as long as I can, so if the long weekend doesn't work for you...come out after it.
I usually have plants right up until mid-June and the way this season is looking, that will still be plenty of time to get your plants in.
This year make it your mission to try a green tomato. Please, please please-they are so good. I've encouraged my regulars to give some of the green cherries a try in the past, and they have become favourites. Green Doctor's, Envy and Thompson Classic Seedless are tremendous.
