Funny. I just tried to persuade people that you can’t send third graders home with a potato in a bag to grow… (because it wouldn’t fit!) Must get my potato photos up soon.

Thanks! I’m convinced that if I stare hard enough, I’ll see them grow.

I hear ya! I’ve been having to hill mine every other day! Mine are in containers and I planted them at the bottom (3 in of soil 1st) by the time they get to the top, growing season should be done (I hope!). They look great

You’re right, herbs are so good, and unlike so many vegetables, so easy!

Nice! I pruned back a lemon thyme the other day to use on baked flounder. Delicious…. fresh herbs are such a delight that it really makes me appreciate my patch of dirt.

Oh that looks good. I’ve been enjoying my radishes and lettuce, while my Swiss chard and a few beets are at last coming up. I love planting season!

We’re having unusual weather, too! Last spring and the one before it were long, late and cold, so I built this light-closet thing to raise seedlings and older plants in. I was thinking that i’d have to keep the tomatoes inside until May. And what do you know, this year I don’t need it! It hasn’t become hot, like where you are, but it has been unusually mild, with no wind or frost or sharp freezes. I made those Saran-Wrap tomato cage things again this year, but yesterday I decided to take them down. I don’t think we’re going to have a late frost any more than we’re going to have an earthquake! But I hope it doesn’t get too hot where you live. That has negative effects on both seedlings and people.
