You always seem so well organized.

Dani said...

Granny, LOL!!! I'm not really.

Elizabeth asked me the other day to get something out of the "scary closet" for her. Shows you how well organized I am.

Big Shamu said...

BWhahahahhahaha. Scary closet.

The Florida Blogger said...

I've been wondering what I want to plant this fall. I guess I need to hurry up and make up my mind.

Sharon Rudd said...

LOL to the scary closet. But I'm really lusting after all these goodies for your garden.

R.Powers said...

Aunty is going to be so proud ... all those heirlooms!

Buzz Kill said...

That is a huge variety of tomatoes. Our garden is winding down and I won't even think about it until early spring. It must be nice under the Florida sun - 2 growing seasons.

I always use to tell my kids there was a "boogey man or boogey men" in the closets. That kept them occupied.

Dani said...

Shamy, I need to have company come (you could bring Sarah and Jakers). That's the only time I'm motivated enough to organize.

TFB, 1st of Sept. is when I start planting most everything.

Eggy, the fall/winter garden has always been my fave.

FC, veggie heirlooms are what got me hooked on gardening years ago. I love the history behind them, and the fight to keep them from going extinct.

Buzz, we love our Florida sun! Just not so much in August and Sept. :)

Meems said...

I keep my seeds in photo boxes, too. I think I'm a little late getting my seeds planted. Just put toms in 4" pots this week. Do you already have yours going?

Dani said...

Meems, no not yet. :( But I'm hoping to start this weekend.

Erin said...

I'm in shock over those tomatoes for fall! Wow, I knew you were warm but had no idea you were able to do fall tomatoes, how cool!

Dani said...

The tomatoes should be ok. Gonna sow some extra-early ones though, just in case.
It's a rare thing for us to drop below 30 degrees in the winter. Living along the gulf helps too. Keeps us a few degrees warmer than inland.
Daytime temps run 60~75 degrees. Wonderful garden weather!
