    Default Bought my first set of tomato plants today :)

    I figured with the nice weather and the fact that it's looking like it'll stay this way for now on, I'd get a head start on the front yard garden. We're heading out of town this weekend, but I figured that I would at least pick up a few things right now. I ordered my tomato plants and six of them are on their way to my house as of this afternoon. I'll be purchasing six tomato plant stands to help support them, but they will all be going out front of the house.

    I'll be probably digging out and putting in a border this week, as well. I'll have to see how well the soil has thawed tomorrow, then head on over to Superstore and pick up the border on my own tomorrow. Then I'll get DH to come over to Superstore and help me pick up the stands after I get the plants to the house.

    We have roughly a 14x4 foot area in the front and I can expand it outward if I wish. If I need to make it another four feet wide, I have the luxury to do so as long as it doesn't get too close to the water-hogging pine tree out front.

    I'm so excited!

    I'm happy for you. SE Michigan got hit with a snow storm Sunday and Monday. May is the earliest I can put anything out. Mid may is the safest.

    Enjoy your planting.

    I wish we could get our tomato plants in now. We might have some light snow this week, so its a no go until the first week of May.
