Tomatoes Planted - Finally!
This past weekend was supposed to be the Weekend of the Garden, but work and life conspired a bit against me. I was only able to get outside for a few hours on Sunday afternoon. Luckily for me, Spouse was very nice and helped me out, so I ended up getting more done than if I were working alone.
The tomatoes were planted, probably a good 2 weeks later than normal. However, with the very cool temperatures we've been having, it was a good idea to wait, I think.
I still need to stake them then put up the fencing (I sprayed them with DeerOff to keep the rabbits away for the next week), but they're planted now.
Just like the last two years, I started the plants from seed and grew them under my improvised light system at work. This is our "dead computer" shelf - all the old monitors, CPU's and other junk waiting to be recycled. We don't have room at home, so hey - whatever works!

That is soooo much better than my set-up in the basement!
They look great in their little beds too.

You have a beautiful garden. Your yard looks so neat.

I love your ingenuity (did I spell that right?). Where there is a will, there is a way. How many people would say they don't have space to start seeds? So very cool.
