We are planting. I know, I know, it's the end of June. But, it has been an unseasonably cool spring here and, well, you can't plant if it ain't ready. I started throwing tomatoes in the ground as soon as the dirt was unloaded. The drip system isn't finished yet, but some things just can't wait.
Jasmine jumped right in, planting some marigolds (a week later, her poor little flowers are looking rather peaked).


I kept her clear of the veggies until it was time to water them, because I want them to produce so badly. Is it too much to ask to have a fresh tomato from one's own garden?
Eventually, Jasmine found her spot in the dirt.
We'll keep track of the garden's progress this summer and if anyone wants to offer gardening tips, don't hesitate.

Alas, I have a brown thumb so cannot offer up any advice but will enjoy watching the progress:)
Morning Monica - for what ever reason I didn't see this post until today..hummm...just love computers!
Anyway - it's interesting to see how different the seasons are here in the US. In the blogs I follow - over at Taylor Ridge they've been brining in all kinds of produce for a while! We here in Cincy hope to have a red tomato by the 4th of July (made it this year - first time in many) but won't have much else before August (except fruit - strawberries and cherries have come and gone already!) Advice wise - probably not much - it's just too regional a thing! Except put human hair in the garden to keep away the pests like rabbits and deer!
hugs - aus and co.
