18 for 18


well, after the last couple days of fruitfulness, the first baby tomatoes i planted are ALL up. no peppers yet (i've heard they are kind of harder to grow) and 2 of 6 broccoli.

i am a bit worried about tomatoes, because so far i think i have about 75 plants planted. 6 or 7 different varieties. um, that's a ton. i guess one of the first rules of gardening is: God did not make seeds to NOT grow. point taken.

You can be the "Octo-mom" of the tomato world.

Hey, let 'em develop a little and then put a sign out your door and say heirloom 'mater plants, $2.

I'm in for a dozen.

Crap. I'm chained to the house until the sliders are replaced. Maybe I'll run to the nursery during lacrosse practice.

alright dear. you can have some tomato plants to cover up that power plant or whatever that you were trying to hide last summer in your front yard!

two birds, one stone baby!

I am SOOOOO ready to garden I can't stand it. I am planting 4 plants today. 3 flowers and 1 lettuce. I am going to buy my veggie plants. They just seem to do better. I miss you. Feel like I have been buried again. K~
