Well we got our first summer squash and cucumber seeds in the ground last week, and the picture is another 3,100 plants that we will be putting in the ground this week. I love this time of year, minus the pollen, but Spring is really one of my favorite seasons with all the new plants and varieties coming in. We will be getting tomatoes, eggplant, and pepper plants in next week and those will be in the ground quickly as well. I can smell the tomato plants already! A few additions to the list this week and it won't be long before blueberries get here, seeing a good amount of blooms on our bushes.
