Vegetables in the garden

Well it's been a while but a lot has been going on. First I did something this year that I have never done before. I started tomatoes, from seed. I start my seeds after valentines day. Some people tell me it's to early but by the time they get large enough to put in the ground and start bearing fruit it's really too late to start the seeds. It took the plants about 4 weeks to get large enough to put in the ground. Well they are in the ground and they are going to have to be stakes today. The tomatoes I planted are called boy-o-boy hybrid. They came in a pack of seeds that I got at Dollar General. I've also started Beefsteak and Delicious tomato plants. The Delicious variety can get up to 7 pounds. I don't expect it to get that large but you can never tell. I also planted peppers but they are from a carnival mix so I have no idea what color they will end up being. It will be a surprise. I also have potatoes planted in the yard. My husband planted seed potatoes and they are doing well. We have a compost barrel and in it we throw kitchen waist (especially potato peelings) and other waste materials. well this year when I looked in the barrel I saw several potato sprouts and yes I dug them out and put them in the ground and before you ask They are going well, not as well as the seed potatoes but, then the seed potatoes have been in the ground about a month longer then the compost potatoes.
