My neighbor came yesterday and dumped a load of sh*t on me- er, on my land, right next to the garden. I had a glorious morning today spreading much of it around, then threw caution to the wind and planted tomatoes BEFORE MEMORIAL DAY- simply Not Done in this region. And also planted squash, and sunflowers, and added marjoram and sage to my herb garden, and watered everything. Tomorrow I'll work some more on the flower garden- I've moved some glorious dahlia tubers from house to house through 5 moves in the past 10 years and now they will bless my (hopefully) permanent home.
