Everything we grow comes out of a greenhouse. The tomato plants are 6 inches or so right now.

We most likely will get them in the ground within the next two weeks or so, as I think the risk of a killing frost much past May 1 is pretty slim this year, as we've had an exceptionally mild winter.

I'll have to confer with the insular group of suspender'd-to-a-man septuagenarian farmers who gather for coffee & mostly good-natured insults bred from decades of familiarity most clement mornings down at the store.

It's straight out of Mayberry, man.

Everyone out here has some sort of garden, but we grow mostly unique stuff that has as much visual/taste "wow factor" as produce can have.

So yeah, we give away a lot of produce to neighbors/friends.
