This is my first solo trip so I plan to spend all day ,taking my time to take it all in

[Minnie Lor]

Sounds like a very fun and relaxing trip. I like to sit in each of the 'lands' or areas at each park. I listen to the themed music, check out the architecture, landscaping, smells. You'd be amazed at how they're similar but so very different at the same time.
Enjoy!

We just got back from Japan and the tomato plants that I potted on just before we went away are doing great. They're about four or five inches high now - living on the kitchen windowsill. I thought maybe I'd potted them on too early, but obviously not. I've got about 10 out of 12 plants that are doing really well, so that's a great score.

I do the same. That is REALLY fun in AK, where they seem to have perfected the art of detail while they were building.

I'm so jealous! I can't even figure out if I'm over or under-watering the herbs I bought. THey are dead just the same!

This year all I am doing is some herbs that I can bring in in the fall and one potted tomato plant, the garden is going back to flowers, esp sunflowers-

WHY?

[wheatenwalker]

last year there were so many tomato and zucchini that were all ready at once that it was wasteful- and I live 3 minutes from farm stands where I can buy all the fresh stuff I want for cheap when its in season- it seems more practical-
Oh, I will plant some peppers, jalapeno and green in pots too-
sunflowers rock bec they are beautiful and in the fall the birds eat the seeds so I have that to enjoy- and they self seed too

I do not know much about "gardening," only a little from books and those are with gardening flowers. My parents both have a vegetable garden in the backyard and I know that they usually go through it with a “tiller,” and plant the seeds and such. I wish you good growth!

I had originally thought that I was going to plant a tomato plant in a big pot and put on the south side of the house. I'm re-thinking that and considering putting the pot on my deck. It would get the sun from the south and the west. Also I could keep a closer eye on it and pull it closer to the house if it storms.

I'm guessing that if you don't answer the door when deer are knocking, that your tomato plants tend to be much safer!

You are so lucky to live so close!

I planted my tomato seeds, and they are sprouting! I planted three different sizes of tomato plants that were already pretty big. I'm waiting!!!!!!!!!

Just catching up on this thread. I've got sugar snap peas and lettuce coming up in the garden. This weekend, we've got to give the peas something to grow up on. I will also plant 4 tomato plants, yellow squash, red and green peppers, cucumber and basil plants this weekend. I love to make fresh pesto with the basil.
