A very big thank you to all my supporters out there. I have reached 30 000 hits on my blog. Without you all this would not be possible.

One looks back with appreciation to the brilliant teachers, but with gratitude to those who touched our human feelings. The curriculum is so much necessary raw material, but warmth is the vital element for the growing plant and for the soul of the child.
Carl Jung

Seeds from USA

Seeds which arrived in the mail from Stacey Weichert downtoearthdigs. How wonderful to receive Heirloom Tomato seeds in the post all the way from Janesville USA, and packaged so beautifully as well.  Thank you Stacey, I will blog about their progress and report back to you. I so look forward to tasting the fruit.

With the arrival of these seeds it got me researching the Definition of Heirloom seeds

Definition of Heirloom seeds :
The definition and use of the word heirloom to describe plants is fiercely debated.

One school of thought places an age or WILL date point on the cultivars. For instance, one school says the cultivar must be over 100 years old, others 50 years, and others prefer the date of 1945 which marks the end of World War II and roughly the beginning of widespread hybrid use by growers and seed companies.

Well finally we have passed mid-Summer here in the Southern Hemisphere and the fruit is setting.

My sincere thanks to Stacy Weichert of down to earthdigs for introducing me to these wonderful Heirloom Tomatoes. I cannot wait until the fruit ripens.

Dear Kitty  has given me my fourth star and WordPress Family award Thank you so much. You can find all the badges and banners and information you need via this link: ‘Blog of The Year 2013′ Award Badges.

Here is what Shaun, the creator of the WordPress Family Award, had to say about it :

“This is an award for everyone who is part of the “Word Press Family”. I start this award on the basis that the WordPress family has taken me in, and showed me love and a caring side only WordPress can. The way people take a second to be nice, to answer a question and not make things a competition amazes me here. I know I have been given many awards, but I wanted to leave my own legacy on here by creating my own award, as many have done before. This represents “Family” we never meet, but are there for us as family. It is my honour to start this award”.

I do feel that WordPress has given me a new online “Family” and I am proud to nominate the following members of my family for this award.

My nominees are (of course, all nominees like always are free to accept or decline the nomination. In this case, they may also choose any 3 other awards.

  1. Valeriudgbarbu
  2. ajapaud
  3. scvincent
  4. Vanda Chittenden
  5. Stillwalks
  6. Cyberbonn
  7. omtatjuan
  8. thecrazycrone
  9. emynow
  10. cynthiajackson

Congratulations to all the nominees! Best of luck to every one!

Thank you so much dear Ajaytao for nominating me for these awards. I am much honored.  I think it is like this Mark Twain verse:

It’s spring fever.  That is what the name of it is.  And when you’ve got it, you want – oh, you don’t quite know what it is you do want, but it just fairly makes your heart ache, you want it so!  ~Mark Twain
