First year, only greenhouse, tomatoes I then left untended - to discover they still had a nice yield, respect@plants.
Second year, started WAY too late. End of may I think, only took 2.5 beds back from the wilderness.
This year, started in march, thinking yay me.
Then, also in march, my aunts (85) show me their tomato plants. Umm yeah I SHOULD be sowing I guess lol
Tilling the ground...has to happen in late autumn really, and work in all of your compost. *cough* I mixed way too much / big branches in my compost *cough* area, gonna be years before I can use it.
I have a greenhouse - so I should be having things to EAT by march, now I know thanks to a book with great what-when-how time schedules.

The sowing (is that the right verb?) and planting season is busy but very rewarding. Says my Book: after that, it's mainly pulling weeds. Yay. ;-) Nah, I'll be sitting in the shade and watching. Pulling weeds too soon is harder than doing so when they are large enough to get the root as well... *whistles*
