What’s below was unplanned.  There were yet more tomato plants without homes so I thought “why not”….
The plan is to cover this area to extend the season and for next year to start it earlier. we’ll see!

I’m confident…

there will be tomatoes, peppers and lettuce and hopeful there will be squash, cucumbers, pumpkins, eggplants and watermelons!

The straw bale project…

…at least the plants are there now instead of in my driveway!!  Now to plant them in the straw…  and add a few more piles with the ones in the first photo for the melon plants (watermelon and muskmelon aka cantaloupe where I come from!).
