So when I decided to plant a garden, I was determined not to fail. I started all the tomato plants from seed! That's what impresses me the most. It also helped me save A LOT of money by not buying tomato plants. I have about $2.75 in tomatoes. The garden soil was the most expensive part. And that must be why my plants are doing so well. Yesterday, I finally got around to staking and tying the tomatoes. I waited a tad long to do it as some of the plants were already growing on the ground. I broke a few trying to force them into an upright position.
I finally realized, weeding and tending to a garden can actually be enjoyable when it's not 95 degrees outside! We had a beautiful day yesterday so I spent all day weeding and tending. I loved every minute of it! And it's a great excuse to get my kids outside with me. And listen to this: I counted a whopping 22 green tomatoes! Boo-yah! Anyone up for tomato salad in a week or two???

This is gorgeous! I would LOVE to have a garden.
That is a good looken garden. I too love to do it, but haven't felt like tackling one in a couple years.
