Leo's Homemade Ice Cream/Tomato Containers

Today, I went out to see Tom Leo, of Leo's Homemade Ice Cream (717-960-0000). He agreed to sell some of his containers for my tomato seedling transplants. I took my old craft glue gun and melted five holes in the bottom of each pint container for drainage and will transplant the plants tomorrow. The mim enjoyed the Strawberry Sorbet, of course. Tom's ice cream is really quite delicious and being a Cincinnati kid, growing up on Graeter's Ice Cream, I have given accolades to no other ice cream. If you are close by, stop by Leo's from 12-9PM any day of the week March through December. We are eating ice cream in honor of my mother's birthday. Happy Birthday, Mom!! We love you!!!

April Master Gardener Class

The April Master Gardeners' Class at Hope Station was about planting seedlings. They gave us basil, parsley, lettuce, oregano, three cherry tomato seeds and four Beef Steak tomato seeds. Ann also handed out a huge bucket with two bags of starter soil, a bamboo pole for staking the tomato plant, two terra cotta pots and a Leo's Dairy ice cream container. All the gifts are great! And the Leo's Dairy pot is perfect for midsize plants. My tomato plants are getting so big that I think I have to go eat many pints of Leo's so I can get the pots. :)
