More gardening!

We are now exiting the frost danger and it's time to get plants into the ground. This morning we went to the annual plant sale at the state fairgrounds. We got there five minutes after the start to find a line with a 90 minute wait. So instead we went out for lunch at a Turkish deli across from Hamline University that Jen's been trying to bring me to during her entire law school career.

Eventually, we got back to the plant sale and waited in line for about 45 minutes. The wait was worth it. Inside we got most of the various heirloom tomato varieties I wanted, including the cool named 'coyote,' which is a sweet, white, grape-sized tomato that I haven't been able to buy the last two years. We also got a bunch of nice looking annuals and some basil plants. My hop is now to recruit Meredith's help to get this stuff all into the ground! We also need to seed the remainder of the veggie garden.

Today is swimming lesson day for Meredith. Afterwards, we might go to the farmer's market across the street if it's not too cold and if Meredith's not too tired and cranky.
