Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

Tomato seeds


Tomatoes have their origins in a wild plant in the Andes. They have come a long way since.


Admittedly, they contain almost no nutrition but when they are good (rarely, unless home-grown varieties), they are great to eat anyway.


Around a week ago I started a bunch from seeds indoors. Odd varieties, yellow, purple, striped, and mico cherry tomatoes. They are already popping up in the potting mix.


The dried seeds I used are so tiny that I always wonder how they can contain so much, including DNA and all of its instructions. Yeah, animal "seeds" are smaller.

Adding some to my salad supper with mixed nuts for dessert!
They are good for the metronome in your chest or heart.

Uhh hmm.

Still a bit cold here to put them in the ground. Got a couple of nights in the low 30 the next few days. Always like to put a couple of tomatoes in the landscaping by the front door. Easy to grab coming or going.

Tomatoes have a good amount of vitamin C.

A tomato a day keeps the doctor away, or something like that. Decades ago the Web was roiling with stories about tomatoes and the antioxidant lycopene, and how cooked tomatoes have more lycopene than raw. IDK but I sure like tomatoes in chili and pasta sauce.
