Or rather Connie really likes her husband to garden.

But when push comes to shove she's willing to get down and dirty. It must have something to do with the loooong winter but when things do finally get green and growing here in Minnesota, I have to be out in it.

Here's the backyard yesterday and yes, I can tell you the common and botanical name of all 310 varieties of plants in the yard! That thing taking over the corner of the triangle garden is an heirloom variety tomato called Purple Calabash. The tomatoe looks positively deformed and is positively the best tasting tomatoe I have ever had! There's a brandywine in the other corner--large and very mild tasting fruit and an odd volunteer in the second garden whose fruit is going to be bright yellow! I have no idea where it came from but since we have been growing heirloom tomatoes for years, I suspect it's a little cross-pollination hybrid.

Any other gardeners out there?
