We finally got the garden disced on Sunday. It was too wet to do it, then when it was finally dry while DH was off work, we found out cylinder on the disc had gone out. So, we got another one, then the rains all hit again...
Today I ran the disc over it again, then put in plants. It was too windy to get any seed in-it would have blown away. But, the plants that have been growning in the kitchen and dining room are now in the ground.
So, I have:
18 tomatoes
3 tomato
18 peppers of various sorts
onions
acorn squash
yellow crazy 8 squash
zuchinni
watermelon
eggplant
cucumbers
I still have to get all the seeds in. It will probably be awhile, as we are supposed to have bad storms and rain the next 2 days. Which means, it will have to dry enough to get the tiller in the garden to till because the rain will clump it up.
Seeds will be:
corn, green beans, yellow beans, okra, carrots, sunflowers and I forget what else.
I have potatoes coming up in the compost, so will move them over.
Until this year, I didn't know tomatoes and tomato were two different but very similar fruits.
Garden --finally!!

A tomato is more common in Mexico. The skin is more papery and the fruit is meater. However, the taste between the tomatoe and tomato is about the same.
Since the tomato is more fleshy and less juicy it is more often used in commercial salsas and salsa made by people in Mexico.
Both come in a red, yellow and green variety. The tomato leaves look a little different also, at least on the ones I bought.

My garden is so darn late, too! I've been popping out between rains to do what little I could. I did get to spread compost this morning. Happy-happy!
