Tomatoes in the Yard....


My neighbor Mary got me into this.


 She was going to plant tomatoes along our shared fence and said, why didn't I plant tomatoes too?

I haven't ventured with tomatoes for several years now, but I thought I would try it.



Of course, preparing the soil takes awhile, especially when it's compacted, and sandy, and there's a whole layer of green nylon mesh from when someone laid sod years ago.   


While I was at it, I decided to continue replacing the lawn with blue festuca, interspersed with a few other fun things.


 The tomatoes are looking really happy these days. 


(So are the irises and the statice...)
