It was a Saturday at the office in Santa Fe as the time nears for budget hearings. The computer was at home recording conference with mouse-click help from Marolynn. One good thing about going to Santa Fe today was that I stopped at a nursery that was advertising four-inch pots of tomatoes for a buck a pot. What I saw were these big plants that the nursery had grown, and they'd sort of gotten away from the growers, getting big way too early for Santa Feans to consider planting this early in the season. But there are bags of potting soil and plenty of gallon containers at home, so I bought my year's supply of plants, drove them home and quickly switched them over to the bigger containers. They will be kept in the wheelbarrow and rolled out in good weather, and in near the house in colder times. It's tomato-roulette, but if they make it to the first of May, they'll be planted all around the house and we'll have a great head-start on the season.
