This is the first year that I'm really happy with the placement of my tomatoes. The basic design of this part of the garden was Bo's idea, with a bit of tweaking from me. In the beginning, I planted my lettuces in this spot, surrounding by the then-tiny tomato plants. On either side of the entrance are two clumps of lemon grass. I think I may add some lavender there, too. The tomatoes are growing very happily along the fencing on three sides, and there are Kentucky Wonder peas on the south side. To the north (the right of the picture) are different types of sunflowers, which are all blooming now. Behind the garden is the rabbit hutch, which provides wonderful ready-to-use manure. I show my thanks by giving the rabbits my cast-off lettuces and all the weeds I can pull.
