It sounds like there will be lots of good eatin’ going on at Ranch duBois! Sorry about the seedlings. I bumped into a Snow White cherry tomato plant and broke the stem. I replanted the broken top and it’s rooting nicely. Of course, it’s getting too hot at night for it to set fruit. Hey, I’ll think positive: I’ve already got a head start on growing my fall tomatoes!

I’m impressed by all the fruit you have. My peaches, apples and cherries were wiped out by that late freeze. Some of my seedlings were horrid. Rock on, my garden friend.~~Dee

I’ve never had the courage to do an apple espalier.

I don’t actually have a recipe, but this will get you close to a bok choi favorite of mine. http://tinyurl.com/qhkede

Sounds like a happy spring taking shape at your place. I am pleased you cleaned up your little nursery and planted up those plants that survived, but do want to set the record straight on one thing. I bought just ONE tomato plant… though my tomato seedlings are small, I planted them anyway because I think they’ll grow. Now the peppers, that’s another story…

I also have a big row of bok choy but am not sure what I’m going to do with it! Ideas?
