Yesterday, we filled and planted two raised beds — heirloom tomatoes and peppers, dill,\"\"<\/a> parsley, marigold plants and chard, spinach, lettuce and arugula seeds and cucumber seeds tucked into a corner. \u00a0The main garden is already planted and even tasted: leeks, spring onions and lettuce.

This year, I think I might have overdone it.<\/p>\n

On a cold, dark night, one of the many of this long, bitter winter, I decided to pre-order plants for the garden. As the days warmed up and no box appeared, I began to think I might not have\u00a0actually placed the order. It is like me to fill a cyber basket and then balk at the shipping charge, abandoning my spree. This notion solidified in my mind when a search through my emails failed to turn up a confirmation. \u00a0So a few weekends ago, I went shopping for plants — Paul Robeson tomatoes (will they sing?) Thai dragon chiles (will they burn?). \u00a0Last week, a box arrived — yes, with more plants. \u00a0So if you need tomatoes, peppers, (as long as the critters are not too greedy) I’ll have them.<\/p>\n
