Today I have 10 tomato seedlings poking their heads above the soil, and 6 jalapeno seedlings nodding hello to them. The tomato seeds were saved from an organically grown Brandywine from last summer, and the jalapeno seeds were saved also. The jalapenos are for my wonderful neighbor who lives a quarter-mile up the road. Last spring he came over and plowed a space for our initial garden and refused to accept any form of pay, just said "grow me some jalapenos". Then last winter, one of the same group of neighbors plowed 18" of snow out of our very long driveway. Same story, wouldn't take pay. Our garden will have plenty of jalapenos for them, and hopefully lots of tomatoes and eggs to share, too.
