So Shall I Reap

With April upon us and rain in the forecast, I didn’t want to wait to get plants and seeds in the ground. This year it is tomatoes, yellow bell peppers, cucumbers, cantaloupe, and yellow squash (at Abby’s request), surrounded by a ring of marigolds.

I know what you are asking yourself. “How can Richard put in a whole garden in one afternoon the day after driving ten hours from New Mexico? He must be a machine.”

The answer is simple: I am a machine.

Also based in the forecast, I might have some peaches, cherries and plums this year.

This tomato leaf soaks up warm spring sunshine in my garden after today's planting.
