Below is, a not so very good picture, of one of the tomatoes from the plant that DS gave me the seed. I may have mentioned that last year, when he bought his house, a friend of his, gave him two heritage plants as a gift. He has been growing these for many years, and apparently, he sells them for $5.00 a plant.
DS shared 6 seeds with me this spring, and all six seeds grew. We/he had no idea how to collect seed last year, so I was very surprised that it worked. All he did was open a tomato, put the seed on a paper towel, let them dry, and hid them away.
I shared one plant with my father and one plant with a cousin.
Above is Purple Petra Basil. I am trying my hand at getting better with taking pictures. These are the seeds of this plant and I just thought they were so beautiful. No wonder the bees love them.
And here we have Fern Leaf Dill seeds. Which, I have been successful at saving. Pick them on a dry day and put them in an envelope for next season. I plan to plant more dill next year to use for my refrigerator pickles.
Well, that's all from the garden today.
