As the growing season comes to a close, I paid a visit to Phil (a.k.a. the "Mater Man"), who supplied me with the heirloom tomato plants this summer. I got to see his greenhouse, where my little plants were born, and got to visit with all of my tomatoes' relatives in Phil's garden. Phil and his wife showed me their composter, and I was duly impressed!
By the way - - the picture to the left is a picture of SOME of Phil's harvest . . . just a bit more bountiful than mine, I'd say. Must be something to that composting!!
I also got to see some of Phil's pottery collection - - turns out he's a collector & trader of antique Edgefield Stoneware, pots made by Dave the Slave, and rare Catawba Valley pottery. Quite a fun & enlightening visit!
Hope everyone had a great Labor Day!

Dang girl...thanks for the links....I am saving some seed today from the last fruits of my tomato patch. Seems a new tomato variety has come into being in my garden so I am all about saving the seed and selectively growing out this variety to an open pollinated one that I can grow every year....if it works out I will share some seed with you next spring (actually I will share the plants from the seed as I am sure you don't want to mess with planting the seed and babysitting the little plants until they are strong enough to stand on their own). I have a picture to share with you that shows some of my maters during the peak of the season….gone but not forgotten!
