Tomatoes and corned beef

vgqnThe Santa Clara Master Gardener Spring Garden Market is this coming Saturday, so we're all in full prep for it. I just spent many, many hours getting the tomato seedling lists (111 varieties!) ready for copying. And I'm locating many objects in the house destined for the Green Elephant Table (no, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
spikeiowa, no tins. But many baskets!).
Yesterday I potted up seedlings -- tomatoes, peppers, and eggplants. My own, that is, not MG. Although I do still have custody of the several dozen Ferris Wheel tomatoes that we hope to deploy about the Santa Clara Valley. This tomato was superb last year, both in my garden and in our research facility. I got the seeds (10 only!) from someone who got them from the USDA seed base. They've been out of circulation for decades now, but it's time to reintroduce them. Whee!
Tonight we had a belated corned beef and cabbage dinner. Heavenly. My own cabbage even, an Early Jersey Wakefield. Plus Lutz beets, although I roasted them rather than boiling them.
Tomorrow: red flannel hash.
