Tomatoes in February!

Well, we're getting a real reminder of why we moved - Daniel helped us plant four tomato plants and a blackberry bush this afternoon! This is THREE months ahead of the Rochester growing season. One of the tomato plants is an Early Girl, which means we'll have tomatoes in early May! Unbelievable. Sorry, Rochester... see ya!







Look at how rich that soil is! We live in a neighborhood that's just about the highest point in Macon (which itself is on a plateau above the coastal plain), so although there is plenty of strange-looking red dirt to be found around, none of it is on our property!







Daniel's version of planting is to throw the pot into the hole... not a bad shot! (the pots are biodegradable)
