Burpee has their own gardening app now. (I get their newsletter since that’s where we ordered our seeds from this year- btw. In retrospect, I should have waited for the Gurney’s catalog. There was a $50 off coupon if you spent $100 with them. I spent just over that on Burpee’s site. >.<)
Anyway, here’s the bit about the app, for those of you that garden AND have smartphones. Crazy!
Free mobile Web tool from Burpee teaches you about veggies

PS. I didn’t write this. It was a news blurb linked to Burpee’s website. Just putting that out there so they don’t come back later and nag me for credit.

Since putting up a regurgitated post was sort of cheating, I’ve written a VERY LONG article on the subject of growing tomatoes. Still needs a bit of polish and some pictures, but hopefully will have it up very soon.
