Gardening for Old Folks (Adaptative)

i think you'll love them, they're so good

How are they with blight? Seems no matter what I do I get some late blight yearly. It generally doesn't stop production, but on a few varieties like Black Krim which I love it's deadly and I lose the whole plant. So I need delicious and disease resistant. I've rotated, munched, trimmed, not trimmed, watered early, watered late, cleaned up the plants, and even put up talismans (not really) to avoid blight. I swear it blows in from the neighbors.

An elderly Italian man lived alone in New Jersey . He wanted to plant his annual tomato garden, but it was very difficult work, since the ground was hard. His only son, Vincent, who used to help him, was in prison. The old man wrote a letter to his son and described his predicament:

Dear Vincent,
I am feeling pretty sad, because it looks like I won’t be able to plant my tomato garden this year. I’m just getting too old to be digging up a garden plot. I know if you were here my troubles would be over.. I know you would be happy to dig the plot for me, like in the old days.
Love, Papa

A few days later he received a letter from his son.

Dear Pop,
Don’t dig up that garden. That’s where the bodies are buried.
Love,
Vinnie

At 4 a.m. the next morning, FBI agents and local police arrived and dug up the entire area without finding any bodies. They apologized to the old man and left. That same day the old man received another letter from his son.

Dear Pop,
Go ahead and plant the tomatoes now. That’s the best I could do under the circumstances.
Love you,
Vinnie

Sorry, I couldn’t resist!

When is everyone planting their seeds indoors?

Mid to late February if I'm smart.
