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.

        Tell me about it! I got into in the spring and by the end of summer I was done.

          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.
