What did you do in your garden today?

@FarmerJamie The flowers are beautiful!

@CrealCritter Tomatoes a little tall but I know you put most of that underground & they green up and grow 👍. Especially with some "barn gold" added. 😁 They're good varieties. FB did well.

I planted them deep with my little garden auger. They should develop nice roots

oI guess everyone was busy as bees.
My new never used tiller wouldn't start and neither the small push mower. So decided to put the corn in a long bed,lol

Then by the time I was doing that, hubby came out and with the hoe he made a line. So I put the Roma tomatoes. Only 8 plants. I over did it last year with 25,lol.

Too hot outside, so peppers will have to wait 2 more days. Found a piece of cattle wire and put it up as trellis for the beans I got from @flowerbug.

The other 2 have to wait also. I might have some more of that somewhere, 🤔 😬
The green onions and getting a cone thingy on the top. Would that be a flower?


And there are a lot of flowers on the strawberries plants.

Still a lot of work to do but not gonna fight the weed and grass anymore.

Crikey! she's got more tomatoes. What's a tomatillo? Some kind of funky tomato?

an ingredient in salsa verde. pretty yummy, but i don't recommend planting a lot of them until you know you have some certain use for them.

aaaaaand... more weeding!

Starting to make a dent on the section I planned to *not* work on this year.

Still need to plant some seeds...

Where have you been ???? Not to know there's more??? That's crazy ... You know there's always more. 🥰😉

You used to do all the veg starts & show trays of stuff. So, what -- now you do orchards & leave her the garden set ups ?? Dang! That's a lotta downsizing for you. 🤔🤣

I like to eat them off the plants when they are super ripe and color a bit

25 is for sure too many if you only want a few.

i didn't send any climbing beans.

if any do start climbing they are an off-type and you can cull them or let them go depending upon what you want to do...

the peas might get 2-3ft tall.

Do a test to show yourself the difference. The ground temperature is colder at the depth you appear to have planted those tomatoes. Make a trench no deeper than 6". Lay some tomato plants on their sides in the trench. Gently turn them upwards at the leaf end and cover. Then sit back and wait as the ones in the trench take off much sooner than the ones you buried deep in "cold" soil.
