Is it too early to start tomato seeds for spring? Asking for a friend. (Just kidding, I have no friends.)

Flower Wednesday?
Last year I laid tulips and crocuses out in an alternating grid every foot. Crocuses are good at naturalizing and perennializing here. Tulips not so much. So this year tulips are going in with a fan pattern. We shall see what comes back from last year!

If you followed me over from Facebook, you'll recognize that my 593 tulip bulbs this year is fewer than usual.
If you're new to me, you'll probably say HOLY FUCK 593 BULBS?
Either way, I'm heading out to plant.

I finally stopped being lazy and packaged my mixed columbine seeds! The packages on the left have at least 25 (which is more like 50+) and the left have at least 100+ (also probably double but I'm too lazy to count).
This weekend I intend to secure my permit to sell!

If you've ever noticed pink tags on my rose bushes, it's because I sat down once day and googled the patents for every single one to see which I could legal propagate.
My Music Box roses were all about it, and have already flowered. It's only about 4" tall. 🥹

Cleaned up the grape vines for next year. I can't bring myself to prune as suggested to maximize fruiting, because that's not my only goal. But I would like to keep it under control lol.

I've truly been terrible at taking care of my tomatoes this year at every step but I updated my spreadsheet tonight. I'm certain I didn't write everything down, but I'll compare to last year to see what's worth growing again.
Second pic is various super ripe tomatoes, quartered. So pretty!

Couple storms ago, the top cage on one of my plants collapsed and fell over. I secured it again and it fell again, so I'm propping it with another cage on the ground.
I believe I might do this on purpose next year

Sorry I've been quiet lately. Everything has just been a lot and I have some new projects going.
But for perspective on how tall my sunflowers were, this is one from ground height after I cut off the white piece to its right. 13 feet? Maybe 14.

I'm really testing my plant magic tonight. Dug up this tomato that wasn't doing amazing, left it for a couple hours because I forgot, and then replanted it in a different spot. We'll see how it goes!

Told myself all year that I would not be planting tulips this fall because it's pricey and time consuming...
But people were so sad. So the tulip ordering began today. I can't disappoint the town and the Internet like this, apparently.
