That was fun. Let's do it again.


It's that time (actually it's past that time)! Out with the winter/spring, in with summer/fall. Other than a couple of late blooming Integro cabbages, everything has been pulled out and given away. And hopefully eaten, btw.

So, what's for summer? Let's take a look at the planning wall shall we.



For summer the plan is to share. So I have a lot of sharable things: more carrots and radishes, squash, two types of cucumbers, pole beans. And lots and lots and lots of tomatoes. 6 varieties and 14 plants to be exact. See below for the actual planting map. You can tell it's real by all the dirt.





Funny thing about the tomatoes. I started one set at home several weeks ago and they moved very slowly. Image above contains said tomatoes.


Another set I started more recently in a little greenhouse kit and they exploded over a long weekend. Height-wise they were right there with the first group in no time, but not nearly as girthful. (Is that a word? Should be.)


Regardless, I put them both in the ground and have high hopes for big juicy tomatoes in 70 - 80 days.
