I dont know where you get the energy.
It is all I can do to keep my cacti and agave growing.

It's not always easy, but its a labor of love.
Are cacti and agave hard to grow?

Those look stunning!! Your post is indeed a spirit lifter with all the crappy weather in New England. I'm so jealous of your growing season!

That makes me happy to read it lifted your spirits. Come summer when it's too hot and humid to grow tomatoes here, I'll be the jealous one. All I get in Summer is mangoes starfruit, and sweet potatoes.

Marsha that White Cherry Heart looks super interesting. How big is the fruit? Have you had any ripe since you posted the last photo?

I love your tomato pics, especially today when the snow is coming down here. It's something to look forward to in a few months or so. We loved Chocolate Stripes last year, though the production wasn’t as good as we’d hoped. Mocha Splash looks like a winner.

Well that still sounds pretty amazing! The only fruit i've been able to successfully keep alive are strawberries and blueberries :lol:

Not at all, they are easy to grow.
I was expressing my laziness. :lol:

Beautiful tomatoes. I grow 15 - 18 tomato plants but I am boring compared to most of you. Probably 50% of mine are hybrids. I don't grow all of these different varieties but I will be trying Rebel Yell this year. I was inspired by reading posts on this site.

They are beautiful Marsha, Stunning. I didn't know that KARMA Peach was a fairly large tomato. Looking forward to your seed offer. Rosella looks like Sun Chocola.

Oh I'm SO jealous Marsha! I've always wanted to grow Passion Flower, but I can't in the north :(. I hope you get lots of butterfly visitors :).

Thanks Linda. It's been a steady stream of zebra longwings and gulf frittilaries. Many GF caterpillars on it right now.

Yes, Rosella is about 1/5 of the size as Sunchocola, and rosy purple, but they are so good. Thanks for the nice compliment. KARMA Peach was the one that came from KARMA Apricot, same coloring, different shape and size, similar tasting. It's the one we couldn't keep as a cherry, so we didn't!

That Passion Flower is stunning. Such an amazing looking flower—looks like an artist’s rendition of a flower that isn’t based on anything real.
But there it is in all it’s glory.
