The sun was shining, the calendar had turned the page to April and Home Depot’s garden section was alive with possibilities. After grabbing a replacement rake to use in de-thatching my lawn, I walked past a display of tomato plants – 5 for $8. What a deal!
I couldn’t resist and, even though it was early, took a chance and bought the best five they had left.
Working in the sun that afternoon and through the next week, I got the lawn in shape, rototilled the garden, planted my cold crops and then focused on my new location for my precious tomato plants—right in the doggone center of my front yard in a decorative (I hoped) raised garden.
