Purchased some plants
Purchased some flowers, peppers and tomatoes.
Got these from the Powers' Farm Market, since there wasn't much tomato selection at Gentle's Market last year. Also, Grossmans only had plum tomatoes when I checked the other day. Purchased a six-pack of Big Boy tomatoes (though I only planted two). They were a bit on the leggy side, but I'm hoping they'll do OK.
Also two kinds of peppers: California Wonder and Cubanelle.
For flowers, I purchased purple Alyssum and Cosmos in two shades of pink, which I planted (with help from Ben) along the front walk.
He wanted to plant the tomato plants right away.
And this is how they look:
Note the poor, sad tulip leaves which is about all that's left from the many tulips I attempted to plant in this bed several years ago.
