This year, for me, it has been a challenge getting in tomatoes. Our wet winter and gloomy spring months make anything wanting sun not a galloping success. However, I did persevere and put in a right load of vegetables, herbs, and flowers, mostly in containers. The other day I noticed my first tomatoes had set – these are ones I have never grown before, called “Fourth of July” and are a slicing tomato.
I have other tomato plants, too, which I hope will do well. I think as the summer progresses it will be seen as fail or success. I do have a lot of blossoms, though, so I can at least hope!
When I was doing this sketch I was thinking to myself that these sketches of the garden will give me plenty of opportunities to mix greens . . .
And, we had the first mesclun tonight in our salad!

Nice!
Nice indeed!
Happy vegetable garden. Love the sketch.
Thanks, Laura Kate. The first of the peppers came up today!!
Thanks, Fraggy! Even more today were seen – I hadn’t seen them yesterday.
Thanks so much, Judy! Did you put in your tomatoes this year? Haven’t heard.
Nope, sadly, didn’t get to tomatoes this spring! Too busy with other house stuff: new CO and smoke monitors in prep for the new roof, the roof itself, new back door, new blinds, painting, new deck in front yard, tree trimming. Love, J
Sounds like a lot of work, but worthwhile! Definitely will conflict with tomatoes, Judy. xo
