Last night I finally got the tomatoes planted in the ground. Jimmy built two new raised bed frames for my garden and helped set them up--shoveled dirt and tilled in the peat moss. Thanks, Jimmy. I've bought a few new varieties of heirloom tomatoes--Black Krim, Hillbilly, Nepal, Persimmon, and of course, planted my favorite, Purple Cherokee. Oh, I couldn't resist getting Mortgage Lifter! I couldn't find my very best favorite, Omar's Lebanese. Better luck next year. Plus I planted a couple exotic eggplants, two green pepper plants and some herbs--Basil, Italian Parsley, Dill and relocated the big chunk of Oregano to the front of one of the new beds.
Today it's raining. One of those gray, cold, rainy days. But it couldn't have come at a better time for the garden. I can't wait to make a platter of sliced tomatoes drizzled with extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar and sprinkled with sea salt. Yum. That's the taste of summer!
