Beau and I planted that Back 1. He affectionately calls it the Back 40, but well there’s only 1 and not even that. Saturday we did our planting against all advice. “Wait until after Easter” everyone said. We didn’t. It may bite us, but it may benefit us. And while we’re enjoying our tomatoes early, everyone else will still be waiting... I mean, why would the nursery sell them now if they weren’t meant to be planted now? Plus we put them in pots; that way if it drops in temperature we can easily bring them inside for a little warmth by the fire.
And speaking of weather. Hasn’t March been just divine? Windows open and breeze is a flowin’. It’s lovely.
So we’ll return to the Back 1. We planted the following:
Regular tomatoes, heirloom tomatoes (the guy at the nursery said these were his favorite), broccoli, jalapenos and eggplant. We also planted thyme, basil, cilantro, parsley, mint and dill. We can’t wait for the harvest and fresh veggies and herbs to incorporate into our daily lives. Once we have a little growth I’ll provide pictures for the storybook.
