Hello all, My garden is going great. Over the weekend I repotted my sunflowers, some of my tomato and herb plants. It seems I have to water just about every day now because it has been rather warm here. Some of the plants dry out so quickly. Maybe I am doing something wrong. I don't want to overwater but then again I don't want to be underwatering either. Anyway, the plants are thriving with things the way they are right now. Nothing is dying, not yet at least!! LOL

My boys want to plant carrotts (which they call crackets). I have ordered some carrott seeds for a few smaller varieties of them. I hope to have luck with them as well. Can't wait until I get them so I can start them. From what I read, I can sow the seeds every two weeks and keep the soil moving (to prevent freezing) during the winter and I will have carrotts all winter long. True????

My space is very very limited so I am trying to figure out how I am going to deal with my tomato plants when they get taller and the boys. My yard is so small and I can't put the boys outside in the front alone and I don't always have the time to stay out back with the boys when they are playing out there. I don't know how to deal with that just yet but I will think of something. I could try tomato cages but then I run the risk of the boys pulling off the greens and eating them. I could keep them up high.......that may not work either. I don't know what the heck to do. Any suggestions?
