That is a very impressive list of tomato varieties! I'll volunteer to do taste testing! I need to be repotting some of mine today. Tender things like tomatoes and squash can't go out until June 1 at the earliest. Meanwhile, I have garlic to weed, and my onions and peas are looking good. In the flower department, the tulips are blooming, pear tree is in full flower, and the lilacs are just starting. I have my humming bird feeder up already but haven't seen a hummer yet. Usually they catch me by surprise, buzzing me while I weed, or looking in the window. The lawn has been mowed twice, and clippings added to the mulch over the weepy hose lines beside the asparagus. The clippings shade the hoses, extending their life, help hold the moisture in the soil, and will break down to feed the asparagus. I should check to see if there is enough to go with dinner tonight. The rhubarb plants are big already, and putting up seed stalks which I try to cut before the plant wastes too much energy on them. A neighbor who sells at the farmer's market and also does CSA boxes will buy a lot of it. I already mentioned it to him, and need to refresh his memory since the markets will be starting soon.
Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most.
