Though I got it done later in the spring than I usually prefer, I got the garden planted tonight. I put in six tomatoes, nine yellow bell peppers, two rows of cucumbers, and a variety of radishes, carrots, lettuce, and Swiss chard for Abby. It’s a little bit like cooking the best vegetarian meal you can imagine, but it has to simmer for 58 days.
This is also the last year that I have to pick off the tiny fruit from my peaches, plums, apricots, and cherries; next year I will let them bear.
