It's Friday? But how? It was Monday yesterday.

It’s been one of those whirlwind weeks here at my house, with a dinner party to attend, doctor’s appointments and a million and one errands to run. But I still managed to spend a bit of time each day puttering around in the garden. 

I’ve been enjoying morning walks checking my raised beds, coffee in hand. 

I'm watching the shallots I planted last fall grow green tops, and I take a moment to count all the garlic that’s popped up so far, which I also planted last fall. As much as I love seeing that dark, coffee-brown soil, I love it even more when it’s dotted with green. How about you, my friend?

If you’re planting tomatoes this year (and who isn’t), you’re going to want to give this a try – planting them on their sides. I know it sounds bizarre, but it makes a huge difference in your yield and the health of your tomato plants throughout the season. Check it out!
