Tomatoes - phew

I just spent a couple of minutes verifying when I planted the tomatoes last year. My answer, according to the blog: May 11.

Phew.

I was reading in a number of places that I might want to wait until June. Well, perhaps that is true, but I didn't wait, and now they're in the ground. The good news? Last year we got an amazing tomato crop, and I'm told that last year was a bad year for tomatoes. It was a GREAT year for tomatoes for us, so if this is a mistake then I plan to keep making it.

It made me very happy this morning to pull aside my bedroom curtains to peer out at the newly planted garden. My back aches, my shoulders are tense, and I'm tired....but this was definitely worth it.
