It is May: the tomatoes are planted and look shell-shocked from the rainy week in their starter pots. It’s amazing how hard it is to kneel to plant them, and the marigolds. The marigolds accompany the tomatoes for color and to help (I heard) keep the pests at bay. We’re trying landscaping fabric this year to keep the weeds down (although my husband dislikes it); and a trellis (although I’ve heard that certain types of tomatoes should not be pruned and trellised). We still need to plant herbs and lettuces. The rainy weather has produced a bumper crop of weeds!
