Well, all the herbs and veggies are in! I don’t know that I’ve ever been this late in getting all the gardens started, but the weather just wasn’t cooperating. This weekend was warm, breezy and sunny. Perfect conditions to plant all of our veggies- I planted tons of heirloom tomatoes last year, and really enjoyed seeing all the colors come to life. I planted the purple and yellow ones next to each other and they looked almost like flowers. We go through tons of salsa, caprese salad, fried green tomatoes, and salads in the summer, so using lots of tomatoes is something that just comes naturally to our family.
I also changed the amount of zucchini and yellow squash plants. Last year, when I bought all the plants for the garden, my eyes were bigger than the plants. I really bought far too many for them to all be successful. The zucchini and squash plants were the biggest example of this. I didn’t leave enough room between plants for them to grow. They also developed some sort of blight, which I have no idea if it was a result of too much rain, or something that I did!
