Maybe when you go into town you can find a hardware store or garden center that carries some good tomatoes and peppers. Once your high tunnel is up and covered you will have a lot of growing options.

I'm not too worried about it. I'll grow what I grow, might buy a few plants but the main goal is the high tunnel and other infrastructure on the property for now. I guess my major growing project this year will be growing a few things in soil amended with lime. Not really a project but a first.

As of three hours ago, I am on vacation. Tomorrow off for Good Friday, weekend, five days vacation, weekend.

The Good Friday as a paid holiday is interesting. They do it because it's related to Easter but Easter is on a Sunday so rather than take Monday after Easter off like government and banks, they take the Good Friday. Kinda cool.

Went to the grocery store and the magnetic greenhouse with plants pulled me over there. I’ve had the thought of picking up a Sungold or two but they had Sun Sugar instead. Never heard of them so I passed on them until I could look them up. Supposed to be nearly the same but less prone to splitting. Gonna grab one next time I’m there.

I gave up on the idea of planting a bunch of paste tomatoes. When it’s time to harvest and process them, I’ll probably still be working on finishing touches of the high tunnel.
