Today we went to Tom diBaggio's herb nursery for the lavender festival. They were selling things cheap because the nursery closes on July 3 - it's only open from early spring until mid-summer. They were selling 6 inch pots of tomato plants for $1.75 each, so we bought all their Brandywines - these plants are almost three feet tall! Two of them are black Brandywines, looking forward to those. And all their Habanero peppers, two of them are red Habaneros which are supposed to be hotter than regular ones.

Probably should go back and buy some bell pepper plants.

I did buy 18 lavender plants, some which are cold hardy to plant outside, some which are tender to plant in pots to bring inside. I will put three little plants of one variety into each pot. The plants make such beautiful wands with blue and purple flowers on them, especially the ones that grow outside, which make a beautiful little semi-circular bush. Carrying the trays with the little pots on them, the smell of lavender was very heady.

I already have some very unusual tomatoes in the garden, some black ones, a white one, and a yellow one, but I can't remember the names, will have to look at labels. All heirlooms.
