Plump and Ripe 5.15.09
Every year around this time it starts to get warm, the garden begins to explode and I remember that I promised to start a vegetable garden. The idea of seed catalogs, browsing through garden centers, and having your own wee vegetable patch sounds so appealing doesn't it? And of course they must be grown from seeds. No short cutting!
Then a week goes by, and usually someone will casually mention that their vegetables are coming along nicely. The lettuce is up! The organic farm posts that it's open! I have missed the boat again. Groan.
Not this year.
Blooms Garden Center has fabulous heirloom tomato plants for sale that are big and hardy and healthy. Back in the game! Pick up a few to put in wooden tubs if nothing else. You can still stand tall and pick your own tomatoes this season.
No green thumb? That's ok. The Art Attack temporary art gallery opened this week on Palmer Square. A percentage of proceeds go to Homefront. It's been a smash hit. But I do hear that Regan Tuder's wonderful tomato painting is still on the block. Stop in and see. If you love the painting, you can have your very own tomato all year round. Guilt free.
Aren't you glad I passed it on?
