First tomato of season.

An all time earliest. Moved the garden, did everything wrong and my tomatoes look outstanding so far.

Now the rest of the story..........worst pepper plants in the history of mankind--4th planting & still look horrible. 4th planting of okra and still no decent stand. Ants running everywhere, spray can't even control them. Root vegetables I've planted, can't get a stand. Planted 4X sweet corn, they are all at the same maturity. Then I almost killed my great stand of squash and green beans with spray to kill clover in yard and some strange broadleaf that is trying to take over yard.

Not sure how the year is going to end but the start is definetly interesting so far......

You are not alone with the garden frustrations! We have planted some things 3 times or more. The warmer weather is starting to payoff around here finally. Gardening has it's ups and downs I am learning, but it is very satisfying. Congrats on the tomato you are way ahead of me. We have been trying to not use any herbicide this year, it is a battle I am losing quickly and if we get a day this weekend with no breeze I am definatly going to spray some weeds. Hopefully it won't drift onto the garden!!
Hope luck turns around for you.

A ripe tomato?? Wow, that is early. Don't ever try to figure out mother nature- it will just give you a headache! Enjoy your tomato!

This is the earliest I've ever gotten ripe tomato's--by a week. I can't wait for fresh salsa but no peppers, onions way behind and no cilantro. Just goes to show who is in control and who isn't.
