2 tomato plants, 2 eggplant plants, and a pack of okra seeds. If I can get a couple zucchini plants, I'll be all set.

Didn't have a garden for several years and the zucchinis didn't do that well the last few years we tried, and then we couldn't get plants. I put these plants in a different place this year, better sun, maybe fewer bugs.

(23,431 posts)I took my time getting the area ready, doing the work, putting things away. It was a nice day to be outside, good breeze coming from the river. Even if I'm not close to the water, seems like the breeze is always pleasant

(23,431 posts)I know the tomatoes I put in are Big Boys and eggplant is classic. And okra seeds. If I get pods great, hoping to get the flowers
So other-worldly.
