My garden is in.

This year, it's mine alone. The soil in Rice Lake is a bit sandy, which should be good for tomatoes, I think. More than half of my 50+ plants are Romas; all are tomatoes.

It's windy yesterday -- when I started -- and today, but the ground is warming up, and I watered them in well. You know, I've never lost a plant, come to think of it... Even the weaker ones you put in from starter, not sure if they'll make it, seem to produce, if a smaller plant at that.

Here, I'm worried more about critters as it's a nice tilled farm field. Free will offering -- nice sized plots in a community garden, and the first fruits of the harvest will go to the local food bank.

I love watching things grow...
