Here are a couple of pics of Saucy Mary, a tomato that ripens green. I wasn’t sure what to expect flavor wise but it’s really good. One of my favorites for this year.

I started that one inside in April but I started this one about a month ago. I do have a Genovese plant that I started in the ground about six weeks ago but it's not even half the size of this one.

Let me introduce you to my basil friend, Emerald Towers. It's a nice compact, bushy plant. It grows much better for me than Genovese basil and has the same flavor profile.

I'm trying to review the #FreelanceFriends chat but I keep getting sidetracked by the plant pictures. I don't want to be left out, so here are a few of my tomato plants.

I did some up potting this afternoon. You’re looking at 55 tomato plants and 7 pepper plants. I have some tomatoes that I replanted and some herbs that aren’t quite ready yet. Hopefully, I’ll be able to up pot them next weekend.

Here's a little gardening update. There are a couple of tomatoes that haven't come up yet and I lost herbs but this is onions, tomatoes, basil, parsley, peppers, oregano, and chives.

I was going to have a slightly smaller garden this year but that went out the window in the planning stage.
I've got a nice variety of tomatoes. Pink, red, yellow, bicolor. If nothing else there be plenty of color.
