I noticed several volunteer tomotoes in the garden yesterday, odd because I rarely get volunteers from anything other than cherry ones. I will watch them, dig them up and donate to Dad since that dastardly groundhog ate 50 of his.

I have squash type plants popping up all over the garden since last week. I pull them out but I was thinking that "it must be time to plant the squash".
I also have dill popping up and I am keeping that. The Black Swallowtail butterflies love it so I let it grow wherever it wants and it does not usually interfere with my other plants.

I was so jealous of the neighbors. There was some new morning glorish vine creeping into my yard from their direction, so I peaked over the fence to see if they were cultivating it. I did not see evidence of that, but I did see that they had a large patch of volunteer dill. I only have about 10 odd little guys, they had 1-200.
none of my planted cilantro has come through, but I've seen the odd volunteer as well. One I tried to ttransplant, the others I harvested, and will check to see if they are growing more. they are in a path so I'd like to move them.

I did not get my tomatoes seedling planted out as planned this weekend. I though yesterday was too late as I did not want to transplant them and then have the 40 degree temp drop right as they were transitioning to their new homes.
so - I brought them back inside. Maybe next SATURDAY!

You probably made a good decision. They won't grow in the cold anyway so why stress them? They will take off as soon as it really warms up.

Speaking of tomatoes. I just read a book called Epic Tomatoes. Got it for my kindle at Amazon for under $3. Good book and the author sells tomato plants and has some interesting techniques to grow your own.
