30lbs of happiness

Today we are putting our first seed in the ground. This Soil Builder Mix from Peaceful Valley will help build our nitrogen and make our soil plantable for our summer crops.
It's a beautiful thing.

Tomato

Our favorite tomato from last year.

Good thing I have a few seeds left. Baker Creek is not offering it this year. I'll have to grow out my stash for my seed bank and grow for production again in 2013.
