Seedlings

The stores have vegetable plants in stock now. If you want to save a few dollars go to a nursery where they have 6-packs of tomato plants, which run about 60 cents each (instead of the $3+ per plant at the big box stores). It is a bit early to be setting out tender plants like tomatoes - we could still see a frost this spring in spite of how warm its been lately. Sadly, the tomato seedlings we had raised since December met an untimely death so we bought some Roma and Early Girl tomato's from a local nursery, along with some peppers.
Onion starts are also in stock and if you use onions and haven't grown them before, give them a try. We found out these are so easy to grow and have so much enjoyed having fresh onions whenever, right there in the back  yard.
