I decided to scale back on tomato plants this year and planted 21 instead of 22. 😀
I was not as diligent with my seed labeling, so I'm not 100% what types of tomatoes I will be producing. Garden adventures continue! That's what makes it fun!

Garden is tilled and planting has started. This is my favorite season!
