Finally got it all done. The garden was turned over completely on the Sunday before Memorial day, and I started planting it on that Wednesday. It was hot, and tough out there by myself. My wife had things she had to get done, so I was flying solo out there. After a marathon planting session I got most of it in the ground. Everything was already up and waiting to go in except for the pole beans. They are in, and I'm patiently waiting for them to show themselves.
Came back to it on Friday to dig the trenches for the potatoes and got those in. I got all those in plus my blue potatoes which only took up maybe 10ft. So that left me with a row in the middle of my garden that was just open. Sooooo......I created what I call my Misfit's row. Its filled it with my left over orange sweet peppers, and a few big boy tomatoes I had as extras.
So off to TSC I went to go get tomato cages. And what do I find? Lemon Boy tomatoes on sale. Knowing I still had room left over, I picked up 2 of them. I wasn't going to plant anything that wasn't "normal" but I just couldn't help myself especially after the yellow tomato discussion at Flower day. These were large, well developed plants. So into the Misfits row they went. And I picked up another jalapeno plant and I called it good. Maters are caged and I'm in pretty good shape.
Now if we can just get some rain.
