I have saved some seeds from the Energizer Bunny plant but since it is my first time to save seeds, I am not sure if I did it correctly. Also, since the plant was mislabeled when I bought it, it may be a hybrid. We will see. I plan to try and save another batch of seeds. Our winters are fairly short so I plan to root some of the suckers and see if I can keep them alive inside with a light. It will be a fun experiment. I will probably fail but you never know.<br /><br />kitsapFG, the tomatoes seem to taste better and better. My youngest has really enjoyed grabbing a handful for a snack every time he passes through the kitchen and that makes this momma happy!Debbie in MShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05297581188154833080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3655388205078421113.post-73017768587253373722010-10-12T14:00:56.622-05:002010-10-12T14:00:56.622-05:00Thyme2garden, I am so thankful for my sweet husban...Thyme2garden, I am so thankful for my sweet husband and boys for helping out in the garden. I am blessed.<br /><br />Mary, I think I planted my okra in mid-April. I was pleased with the okra and amazed by the cherry tomatoes.<br /><br />EG, I usually do most of the work myself because I enjoy it but I am thankful for their help right now.<br /><br />Villager, I decided to count because in my head I could visualize numbers better than ounces of tomatoes. I am so glad I decided to count because now we are cheering for the 1000 mark!<br /><br />Daphne, I always look forward to pulling the plants just to see what the root system looks like. I know that is probably weird.Debbie in MShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05297581188154833080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3655388205078421113.post-4983722791112481492010-10-12T07:56:02.335-05:002010-10-12T07:56:02.335-05:00Those are some good fellows you have.
