It's been so cool this year that none of our cool weather plants could go in until just this week, so we are well behind our usual growing pattern. Our frost free date is mid-to-late-May, too, which is why we only have stuff like chard, broccoli and onions in at the moment.<br /><br />I'm just excited that I'll be ready to go for tomato plants when the time comes to plant them. Regardless of how I'm feeling by then, The Peanut and I can dig out a hole and pop in a tomato plant or two -- I would have dearly missed fresh tomatoes if we hadn't done this. That's the best part of having this little garden, being able to pop a cherry tomato, warm and fresh off the vine, straight into my mouth when they are ripe.

That's quite a lush garden pic. Seems so crazy that spring hasn't quite arrived there yet this year, especially knowing what is possible when it does show up on time! <br /><br />Here in the Sierra foothills, we always have the threat of frost until Mother's Day. But we have been planting the things that love the cooler temps, like kale, chard, and peas. Best time of the year!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
