Looking forward to another growing season
Tonight I slipped out to the garden to plant Golden Jubilee tomatoes, California wonder bell peppers and a couple of zucchini. I forgot to bring the cherry tomatoes as they had gotten lost among the ground cover in the flower bed. I hopeful for cucumbers to do well and thinking about some canteloupe and maybe a few honeydew. And of course peas. But it is still too cool with the temps staying in the 60s so unusual for the middle of May. Perhaps it will warm up thus weekend.

And now, we plant
Today starts my fifth season planting at the Shelby Farms Community Garden, forever more known as SFCG because that is way easier.
A cool wet busy Spring is my excuse for a delayed start to gardening this year. Just thinking about it made me tired. After the three hours I was there today, I decided I was glad to be back in my Hhappy Place.
One row was planted:
2 hybrid yellow/purple cherry tomatoes that Caroline gave me
2 tomatillo also starts from Caroline
2 big beef
2 something else and
1 sweet 100 cherry tomato
There are plans for purple hull and lady peas, cucumbers, butterbeans, maybe zucchini, possibly cantaloupe, definitely zinnias.
