Long Weekend

The garden is looking good, did a little weeding but still waiting for my plants to get bigger so I don’t accidently weed any of them out.  I am impatiently waiting for the weather to get better so I can plant the rest of the garden.  All the plants that were started in the basement are being hardened off slowly.  I am not going to be around on the long weekend so hope to plant everything mid next week.

Today as I was driving by the greenhouse I still needed one big tomato plant, and I couldn’t resist going in.  I did only end up getting one Purple Cherokee tomato plant but I really wanted to get a bunch more, even though I don’t have anywhere to put them.

There is a whole field that is available to plant in, and a local farmer was going to work up a patch of it for me, but he hasn’t been able to yet.  I am a somewhat patient person  but sometimes  my patients is really low.  If it can’t be worked in the next 5 days, after I plant my home garden, I will borrow my uncle’s roto tiller and just work up a smaller patch then planned.  I have almost 20lb of seed potatoes, approx 200 feet of carrot seeds, 100 onion bulbs, dozen tomato plants and all the cucumbers, gourds and pumpkins that I want but nowhere to put them.  So either I hope that the field gets worked up or that next week is nice so I can work it up.
