Today is one of my favorite days of the year. It is the day I plant my vegetable garden. I am a little later than usual this year, but I finally had the chance to get it all planted today.
I have five raised beds. In Box #1 I planted Green Arrow Peas and Fordhook Giant Swiss Chard.
Box #2 is my "Salad Box". I planted Buttercrunch Lettuce, Gourmet Blend Lettuce, Kale and Mesclun.
If you see the poles, you can probably guess that Box #3 has Blue Lake Stringless Beans and also some Sparkler White Tip Radishes.
In the four corners of Box #4 I planted four Sunflower Plants. There is also Dark Zucchini Squash and Cherry Belle Radishes.
In the final box, Box #5, I have one more Sunflower plant, Early Prolific Straightneck Squash, Chiogga Beets, and Swiss Chard Rainbow.
Up against the fence I planted four tomato plants, three Roma Tomatoes and one Better Boy.
I bring my house plants out each summer and put them on the patio. They get revitalized during the summer. I take care of them much better when they are outdoors.
I planted my fifth Beefsteak Tomato plant in a pot in one of my flower beds. We'll see how it does.

Basil is one of my favorite herbs, and I find if I put them in small pots on the patio, they grow really well all summer long.
Chives growing in the lid of our old Weber BBQ Grill.
A geranium on a broken chair.
I still need to plant flowers in the black pots, and old BBQ, and the toilet.
I planted marigolds in the small pots.
