Let the growing season begin.

Procrastination is not always a bad thing. Last year, I was overly anxious, planted my tomatoes a week before our frost date of April 15th, and lost them. This year, frequent cold snaps and rain has peppered our spring; April 15th flew by with hardly a thought of gardening. The few days we had a of fine weather I spent waiting for the soil to dry out, only to have it rain again. When my brother offered some tomato plants last weekend, I was glad I hadn't been too enthusiastic. He grows some fine tomatoes. And it was a good thing I didn't plant them for a week. We had another frost the night before last.

The forecast has promised a warm up, however, so yesterday I planted tomatoes.
