As it stands, there are 5 tomato plants, 8 pepper plants, 2 Zucchinis, 1 eggplant and 1 cucumber now in the raised beds. There is also a pony pack of green onions waiting to be put in the ground.
I may have to tap into the third raised bed.

Lots of concerns right now, so I went for a stroll among the tomatoes and peppers.
It's really something how the fragrance of tomato plants in a garden can be therapeutic.

Our garden is coming along, but already having an issue with cut worms. Everything is dusted and smells of Sevin dust at the moment.

I put in green onions this morning.
It is amazing how fast the tomato plants are growing!
I gave them a dusting of diatomaceous earth.

Do the diatoms work better than Sevin? So far I've lost a cucumber plant, the top from 1 tomato, 1 watermelon vine, and 1 snap bean plant.

I can't tell. I dusted the peppers with Sevin today just to hedge my bets.

I thought I was done planting tomatoes this year (5 plants!) But I've got a hankering for Sweet 100s.
They're probably the easiest tomato there is to grow.
