The SS Eastland disaster in Chicago has a direct impact on the Inciardi Paste tomato. Henry Inciardi and his wife were on this ship when it capsized at port. Henry was a good swimmer from swimming when he was in Italy as a child. His wife parished in the disaster.

Just think if Henry didn't survive, this tomato may have been lost forever.

I got a little ADHD going on the last 2 days. Jumping from one thing to another.

Like moving the greenstalk outside. Then looking up in the top of the hoop house and seeing the hanging baskets, and thinking, it's suppose to rain, I should move those outside.(By the way, 6 of these are up for grabs)

No matter what your doing remember to stop and smell the flowers!

A bed full of bachelor buttons. I still have about 20ish plants left.

This was my first year winter sowing in milk jugs. I started 2 jugs of them, thinking I would mess them up and only a couple would germinate. Boy was I wrong. 65 sprouted in total.😂
