I will never forget the times I had as a child setting out plants with my grandmother and my father. Each spring we would till a hugh garden were we planted rows and rows of beans, cabbage, tomatoes, potatoes, corn, pop corn, hills of watermelons, cantaloupe and pickles. I always liked the planting and the harvesting but weeding through the long hot summer was never fun. I hope you are building memories with your children that will be as rich as mine.

It looks like you will have a bumper crop! It is fun to watch those little green shoots pop out of the dirt and to imagine all the possiblities they bring for the summer.

Once ours sprouted, we put them under plant lights and gave them more hours of light than is naturally happening this time of year. By the time we set the tomatoes outside the end of May, they were leafy, stocky, and green. Without enough light (and length) the little guys may become spindly and weak. Good luck raising your little "guys." Yes, watching plants is addictive--especially at the baby stage. Sort of like watching your babies do every new little thing.

You are going to be running over with tomatoes. My MIL cans tomato juice from the tomatoes in her garden. She gives me a few every year. I love making homemade vegetable soup, chili, spaghetti, even just drink the tomato juice...Wow, you are making me jealous just thinking about all the tomatoes you will have. I tried my hand at gardening right after I got married. I had the most beautiful green plants you've ever seen, but I never had 1 tomato...no, not even one! I've never gardened since...

YOu are doing great. We have leeks and peppers on the plant table. We are getting ready to plant peas. And we have planted greens outside. Tis the season to dig ! Do you all do raised beds or no ? We have found that easier when it comes to not using a tiller. Sending blessings and ((hugs)) my SSiC In Him< -Mary Wow !!! YOu are doing great. We have leeks and peppers on the plant table.

My dh is the gardener around here, and this year he put his tomato plants in big containers on our screened porch. So far they are really thriving and we already have little green tomatoes! Good luck with your garden this year. It is so cool how quickly those little seeds grow into plants!

THis is a great way to save money and is a relaxing hobby too! I really love my herb garden, so I will probably be doing lots of posts on it. (I had an herb garden post for today, but was afraid people would say, "Why doesn't she quit posting about this?" : ) Great job on your garden.
