I got 7 cubic yards of topsoil delivered this weekend, and I plan making a new bed in the front where the backhoe tore up the yard when they put in our new gas connection. I’m going to expand out into the yard so I have more area to plant sun-loving plants - I don’t want to put down grass seed. Grass is boring. And that topsoil will come in handy for the expanded veggie beds, too. I’ve started the cucumber now, and the tomatoes are getting big. I’m going to wait until the fall, I think, to try planting lettuce, since by then the tomatoes, cucumbers, and carrots will be ready. As for the broccoli, I should have put it in last month, but I’m going to go for it anyway next weekend and if my heads flower because it gets too hot, I’ll cut them off and get side sprouts.
