My ten tomato plants have remained nulliparous. The flowers have appeared but then quickly shriveled. Maybe next year. . . In contrast the rocket that I was so ambivalent about has continued to flourish and each week manages to produce enough leaves for a small salad or two. Equally pleasing has been the sudden appearance of flowers on my clump of garlic chives - each tiny flower a burst of sharpness and bite.

Sad about tomotoes. Sometimes they like a bit of help - shaking flowers (can even achieve it by a good "stomp in the garden) - helps make sure the pollen moves. Maybe next year!
Jim,
I've still got a few packets of un-used heirloom seeds, so will try again next year.
Will try to grow so beets in the next 1-2 months - another thing I've had very modest (no) success with!
Sad to hear about the tomatoes :-(
Interesting blog though, how do I subscribe?
have you heard of lovethis? I've started using it to get wine recommendations, pretty useful. Check out my recommendations and I'd be interested to connect with you guys to find some interesting labels and new producers. Here's a link to my profile: http://ow.ly/42A6l.
