The start of summer is always marked by 6 pack flowers at Home Depot, seedlings ready to transplant, pulling out the tomato cages for pepper plants and putting in my tiny herbs that will turn into full blown monsters by the end of the summer. What a refreshing thought to pick my own herbs after paying $2.49 a bunch at the grocery store all winter long. We have a few new tricks up our sleeves this year. Red plastic along my tomato line, supposed to reflect heat growing larger, tomatoes sooner. Black plastic along all my raised beds to suppress weeds, the girls were excited to hear about that, their summer job is to weed the garden beds. All reports are pointing to an awesome strawberry crop this year. Supposedly the wet winter made for awesome strawberry fields, we will wait and see.
