Yesterday I visited the Wooster Square farmers market and bought some heirloom tomato and herb plants. I planted the tomatoes in 5 gallon buckets after drilling drainage holes in the bottom. I'm a little worried about the amount of sunlight in the backyard. Although it has southern exposure, there is a tree blocking the sun in different places throughout the day. Apparently tomato plants need at least 7 hours of sunlight to produce fruits. So I am watching the backyard and checking out the situation today.
I've planted chives, basil, thyme, and rosemary, and plan to get some cilantro and mint from a friend. Hooray for summer!
