I was so anxious to return home from my trip to start planting.  JT is gettting my pots out of the garage, they aren't really pots, but 5 gallon buckets from the pepper plant.  I was going to get fancy this year and paint them with that paint that adheres to plastic, but I'm too impatient.  Maybe next year.  I am ready to plant tomatoes, zucchini, bell peppers, lavender, cilantro and basil.  My kids want me to add watermelon to the list.  I probably will.
