Late in the garden game this year? We've had a few friends wander around our small patch of a vegetable garden, sigh and lament the fact that they missed tomato growing season. "Au contraire!", we exclaim and send them a great article we spotted a week ago in the New York Times. Jump below for the link...

According to this article, you still have time! Get your tomatoes planted and while you're at it, throw some basil in the ground, too!

Wasn't the article more geared towards the northeast climate though (shorter, hotter growing season)? All my literature for the NW says ideally the mid- to end-of-May is the best time to plant tomatoes. I always try to get em in by Memorial Day at the latest. However, this year is much colder than past, so I just got my last ones in last weekend. It was a great article though, I agree.
