I think I am actually going to be home for the next couple of weeks and will get to garden some. I'm going to try "Mortagelifter" tomatoes, another heirloom that I can't think of right now, Sweet 100's and Sungold grape tomatoes. Will have to put up a small fence around the raised beds to keep the rabbits out - and am starting to have deer show up on occasion. Will also plant a couple of cukes, a summer squash of some kind, and may toss in some bush beans, though I won't have space for more than a mess or two of beans.

The basil did so well in pots last year that I'm tempted to grow it in pots again. However, by mid-summer the pots need watered daily and I'm not sure I'll be home enough to keep that up.

Lifted some single apricot mums from Mom & Dad's garden a few weeks ago. Just to get them in the ground, I had to plant them in one of raised beds - which I am reserving for veggies and herbs. Gonna move my perennial herbs into that bed, and replant the mums where the herbs were - hopefully this weekend.

Leo - you dun gone hog wild with the catalogs this year. Good on ya!
