There's Something New In The Garden! :)

 There's something new in the garden this year! :)
 A couple of the tomato plants I bought were getting too large for their pots and I was eager to get them planted, so they could flourish! :)
 I felt it couldn't wait so bought a new mesh green house, and my Honey helped me assemble it! :)
 Mick came to check out my work after I tended the soil and got the plants in the ground! :)

 I never bothered to remove the mesh cover on our old one, and the Winter winds blew it about, even though I left the doors and windows open. The windows on one side got battered against the fence. It was time to replace the mesh cover but that would take time, and the tomato plants couldn't wait!
 So out with the old and in with the new! :) ... Only now I'm wondering if I can yet order a new cover for the old one and continue to use it, too, or someone else could use it? :)
 This year I've planted 6 tomato plants. (There's enough space for 8.) I chose 1 Sungold cherry tomato; 1 Juliet (for salsa); and 4 Big Beef for fresh eating and for canning! :)
 Another thing that's new in our garden, this year, is a planting of sweet peas! I've always loved their fragrance and decided to grow them! If they do well I'll place a bouquet on our dining room table! :)
 This type gets 10" - 12" tall. Just enough to reach half way up this trellis! :)
 I also planted a large pot of herbs near the front door where they will be easy to clip and use in our meals! :)
In just a couple of weeks it will be time to plant the garden seeds! I can hardly wait! It's helped to have other gardening to do, gearing up for that! :)
Are you planning anything new in your garden!? :)
