One thing is constant: Change!
A neighbor allowed my father to use their large lot for gardening. He grew wonderful beefsteak tomatoes...does anyone else love tomato sandwiches with mayo?

Often, too often, many of the vegetables 🌽🥬🧅 🍅🥒were gone when he went to pick them. Life!

@helenfrances Tomato sandwiches with mayo? Such great memories! It's the best on homemade oatmeal bread, toasted. I can almost taste it. I may have to make some oatmeal bread this summer when the beautiful tomatoes are in season. We used to have a farm in my town that had the best tomatoes, prize-winning corn, and swiss pansies. Their pansies were so spectacular that people came from other countries like Japan to learn the secret and get some seeds or plantings.
The people retired and sold the property and it was developed. That was a sad day for everyone around here.

You can't buy tomatoes that come close to the deliciousness of freshly picked. I don't like mayonnaise, so I use butter, and it's become hard for me to swallow bread. We had bst sandwiches for lunch today. S is for spinach. I've always planted the vegetables the first of June because I don't want to have to go but more plants. Even so, my tomatoes were frost nipped last year. I just cut the nipped ends off and it worked!

Onions are poking out of the dirt. I usually have volunteer potatoes but I haven't seen any yet. I need to turn my phone off because I just remembered that I need to harvest asparagus. I have a walk behind trimmer, and spent several hours today trimming the edges the mower can't reach, so my feet are hurting now. On the way out to the garden I'm going to take the midday morphine that I don't often take.
