It’s springtime and moving beyond last frost dates in the northern parts of the U.S. Garden centers are humming, bees are buzzing. Birds are nesting in my hanging planters.

I planted out 25 tomato seedlings last weekend - what are you growing?

    I grew a load of stuff last summer and it was a bit of a pain with the water shortage and heatwave.

    This year I’m growing chilli’s because they are aesthetically pleasing.

          Hopefully that didn’t discourage you. This year has been much more forgiving, at least in my area. I know last year was the 2nd longest period without noticeable precipitation for 67 days. Went from June to August with nothing. I was so angry. This year I made sure to put at minimum 7 inches of mulch in every bed >:(

            Good effort. I didn’t use any mulch last year. This year I just have one chilli plant. I haven’t got the time to tend to a veg patch at the moment.
