Weather:

 Sunny , 70° with a low of 35°.  It was foggy as I drove to work don’t understand that other than cold ground and warm air.

Plantings:

 I had purchased last Friday a pony pack of Leeks and Shallots so I planted those.

Leek Lancia & Allium Cepa (Red)

Mike the gentlemen that I work with bought me two tomato plants.  Last year I remember him talking about having tomatoes about 2 or 3 weeks ahead of me.  It appears that the tomato plants he buys are older than what I was getting so this year he got me a couple.  I planted

Bush Celebrity: medium sized 8-9 oz’s -67 days.
Super Sweet: cherry size tomato - 65-70 days.

In the past I have planted more tomato plants but finally realized that less is better.  Since I don’t can them, there is no point.

Activities:

 watered the garden.

Miscellaneous Notes & Observations:

Orange Crush was seen sitting in front of house not more than 5 feet from a deer.  It was the most charming sight.  Hope he doesn’t try that with a coyote. 

I forgot to mention that on Sunday I moved my Rosemary plant out of the greenhouse  to the garden.
