This is the week! In Utah it's time to plant after Mothers Day, and the nurseries are full of veggies! I bought my tomatoes and peppers, and I am soooo excited! I got Brandywine, Beefsteak (always my favorite), Better Boy, Roma, Sweet Million Cherry, and Yellow Pear. I meant to buy Early girl, but somehow i ended up with Early Doll, which i have never heard of. I also got several hot peppers, jalapenos, Anaheim, and ancho. Last week I planted some carrots and green beans, Blue Lake variety. I should be swimming in veggies in a few months!

I also planted my dahlias today, both the new ones I ordered, and the ones I dug up last year and divided. Dahlias are definately my new favorite flower to grow, last year the bloomed prolifically and they are super easy to grow. talk about bang for your buck! My mom bought them for me last year and said, Trust Me, you will love them, and she was right. 
Too cute to eat! Yeah right...
