Tomato plants in the ground in mid-March! Hopefully in 65 days (give or take) we'll have tomatoes.
The time change is so disruptive and feels awful for the first couple of days, but I appreciate the extra daylight after work to get things done in the garden. This year, I'm planting the tomato starts really deep--right up to the crowns--as an experiment. This is a new variety for our garden: "Oregon Spring." It will be our only full-sized tomato amongst cherry and grape-sizes this year, and it's supposed to be an early cool-season variety. In this photo you can see the nearby onions on the right, carrots on the left, and broccoli in the back. It's still too wet to put out the grid, so it's hard to tell, but this is my "square foot garden."
