Ladies and Gentlemen, We Have Tomatoes!

Also sweet peppers, basil, and possibly an eggplant. I accidentally got sucked into a nursery on my way home from my parents' house and came out with easily half a dozen seedlings for use here, which are currently happily ensconced on my front porch soaking up the evening and the happenings of downtown Fountain Hill (they might be in culture shock).

 Right now I also have the following seeds that were given to me:

• string beans (lots and lots of string beans!)
• marigolds (which are good to plant near the tomatoes, keeps the bugs away)
• cucumbers
• beets
• zinnias
• more basil seeds, because you can never have too much basil
• watermelon (yes, really)
• and two different kinds of pumpkins, one of which is ginormous. 

Frankly I'm not sure what to do with the pumpkins, I've never grown them. Ditto the watermelons, actually.

If anybody has any suggestions, let me know. I will still be ordering a few seeds from Seed Savers Exchange so if anybody has any preferences let me know on Tuesday. (Yes, Courtney, there will be sunflowers!) One thing I know I'll be getting is Swiss chard. Oh, and carrots. It would be stupid to have a garden without carrots.

Ok, off to do actual homework.
