I'm always interested to know what others are growing.

Paste tomatoes (caged)

did you put them out already? I did ten days ago, in my new full full
sun garden (sunrise to one hour before sunset). I guessed the
continuing wet weather would help with both temperature and moisture
(it sure helped with moisture, and so far it has not gone below 48F).
Also, what do you do with all those toms and veggies in general? I am
already giving away lettuce to anyone who is willing to eat it, and I
know I will be doing the same in august with tomatoes, and I only have
30 plants.

Only 30?!? The mind boggles ;-) Our garden is confined to the upper
deck. Everything is in pots so the deer and other critters can't eat it
all. We have....

4 kinds of tomatoes - 7 plants total
bush cucumbers
bush beans
two kinds of lettuce
sugar snap peas
lots of herbs though as usual the basil looks terrible, sigh.

Maybe someday we'll have a fence and a moat and who knows what else and
will be able to plant a garden in the actual dirt ;-)
