Diana you are a hoot! Being publicly accountable for your chores list. I start off have 4 things on a short list and if I can get two done I am happy. We keep plugging away. Plant prices are through the roof. I planted everything I wanted by seed I had, just bought two lieutenant and will probably buy 1 shishito. My tomato and pepper seedlings are doing well. I'll try and get a picture soon. Our local store must be last on the route for the Bonnie truck. Today there was a pitifully small delivery and the basil was half frozen and dead must have all sat on the truck through the recent freeze. I did see something new from Bonnie - Aspabroc(baby broccoli) Had never heard of it before but I bought a 6 pack. Sounds like I will get a better yield and take up less room. Looks like next week I should be able to plant outside. My 4 cuke plants are so big a couple have flower buds! Happy gardening everyone. Heres an oldie but a goodie. Hope I can get to everything this summer.
