I finally got to get my hands in the dirt yesterday! I was so excited. We got the garden tilled at Grandma's on Saturday. So after work I went over and got started. So far we have planted onions, carrots, radishes, green beans, peas and lettuce...that's all I can think of right now. I'm sure she planted more today, but I didn't talk to her to find out. We also got some basil seeds planted in the greenhouse.
I just can't wait for that first tomato sandwich. It is my favorite thing! I like just plain old tomato, mayo and cheese. Mmm. Sometimes if I get adventurous I'll add sliced cucumber too. My mouth is watering already.
I'd like to can a bunch of green beans and peas. Plus I'd like to make and can pesto, hence the basil, and some salsa.
Need to make sure we have Roma tomatoes started for that.
How are your gardens coming along? I think it may still be a bit early in the season for some of our friends to the North.

Well, my garden is coming along nicely. Thank goodness for the gentle rain this evening. Those plants needed a good soaking. I finally got everything out that I wanted. I went to my grandma's greenhouse to get the rest of the plants. A few of the tomatoes didn't survive the transplant, so I'll have to get more. Good thing I know someone...LOL Here are a few pics of the growing plants.
