Word comes from Boulder that the pots we planted last week - nine varieties of tomatoes, a ton of basil, three vines (two zucchini and a pumpkin), six peppers, parsley and cilantro - are growing up a storm.
And speaking of storms ... the weather in Colorado is so crazy!
It was hot when I was there, but this week temperatures plunged to the upper 30's in Boulder and a town nearby, in the mountains, had six inches of snow! This explains the common refrain out there: "If you don't like the weather, wait a few minutes."
It also explains why, every time I go, I have to pack for three seasons.
It's great to hear the excitement these pots have created in my son's household. Every day, he and his wife check on their garden's progress. Already, of course, what we planted is growing.
Every spring, I think gardeners revel in the beauty and wonder of the spring growing season. It's the best. Watching tomatoes grow or basil shoot up inches every week has got to be the best reality show going!

Back yard salad number one was last night, and it was deeeeelish! Thank you so much for helping us get our garden up and running and for showing us how much fun can be had playing in the back yard dirt!
