Picked My Last Purple Haze This AM - Planted My First Purple Haze This Afternoon

rnewste · February 21, 2009

Guess you can call it the "Circle of Life", or something. Picked my last Purple Haze F1 tomato this morning, with another 20 still left on the vine:

But I had to make room for the 2009 crop, so out they went into the compost pile.

I've been nursing cuttings in the window-box for the past 2 months and they were getting root-bound and leggy, so I decided they needed some fresh air:

One is even flowering, so hopefully, the bees will return soon:

I've got an electric blanket on stand-by in case we get another spell of cold weather - - but so far, we've been in the upper 60's, with nights in the upper 40's.
