I sure hope soon. There are broccoli plants setting in the garage along with seeds for beans, corn, spinach, lettuce and a bag of onion sets. It is already late, but it has been too wet. I hope to also put out pumpkins seeds to hopefully grow a few big ones for fun. I almost forgot several types of tomatoes. I would not be a Indiana gardener with out tomatoes.

I've planted 9 tomato plants, 3 cucumbers, 3 green peppers, two straight neck squash and 1 zuchinni. We also have about 24 strawberry plants carried over from last year. Also some carrots and green onions still in the ground from last summer. Love it!!!

Just bought two tomato plants today at Lowes. I will add a couple of pepper plants and that will be my patio garden for this year. Sounds good to me.

Ours is now planted, thanks to my daughter and the greenhouse at the high school. No thanks to the Idaho spring.

Corn, tomatoes, cucumbers, radishes, broccoli, cabbage, bell peppers, hot peppers, red potatoes, russet potatoes, kohlrabi, carrots, spinach, arugula, zucchini, cantaloupe, watermelon, kale, rosemary, basil, Italian parsley, and pumpkins.

I will plant tomatoes in containers on the deck. We quit planting a garden two years ago after the deer ate everything. We only got one picking of green beans and the deer got the rest. Last year they came up and ate one of my hanging plants that was hanging on the edge of the deck.

Had a BLT this evening--yum, yum, yum! Have had and given away several tomatoes; lettuce and tomatoes are in plastic tubs on flagstone patio. From a huge garden to a "postage stamp" size to a "pinhead." As housing has downsized, garden plots have also. LOL!

We will just be planting tomatoes.
1. cherry tomatoes
2. red tomatoes
3. yellow tomatoes
My DD does the planting, I cannot due to arthritis. She has already put in tomato plants and I don't know what the others are. It is a small garden this year because she has a very demanding job. In years past she went overboard and worked too hard on it.

Just got back from volunteering at the Friends School Plant Sale Scholarship Fundraiser. Bought a lot of fun things, and can't wait to get them in the ground and flower boxes. This weekend looks promising. Check it out...it's mind boggling, and very, very huge. You can find just about anything there.

I don't plant, but my dh loves gardening. He just put in tomatoes, bell pepper plant, & squash. He has green beens & cantaloupe in pots. The weather was great this week, but cooling off again. We love the harvest, but wish it wouldn't all come at once.
