Tomato Planting & May Photos


It's so nice to have little hands helping in the garden. This weekend we planted tomatoes at the Grafton garden. It just goes to show that 5-year olds can be great tomato planters!

The Mequon garden is bursting with spring garden bounty! Here are a few photos.

I'm very excited about the flowering of the sugar snap pea plants! 5-24-10

Fresh garden thinnings from our second harvest of the season. 5-8-10



Two weeks later, salad mix. 5-25-10 (In "Why Garden? Part 3" I mentioned how I love to wear a big straw hat. Here it is!)



Beautiful, crispy radishes! 5-25-10



The potatoes are coming up and looking very healthy! 5-24-10
