is it summer finally?

We are 2 days from the last frost date in our area (zone 5a). And it doesn't look like we are going to have frost anymore!!! Hurray! Maybe I can start planting my seedlings into the ground. I'm feeling that my tomatoes are getting too leggy, and a bit yellowish. But that's OK, usually they are be buried  up to their neck and will be getting fat and strong very quickly. We are waiting for the Memorial Day weekend, the family will be together for the full four days. It is so much to do in the yard and around, I'm afraid it will be a lot of work. Though for sure we will find time to have gorgeous meals, and try some new summer drinks. But for right now I am still edging, mulching, planting new annuals. The more I'll get done these days, the more pleasant time we'll have over the holidays.

Eggplant in the pot. And doing great.

Here are my leggy tomatoes, I think they are yellowish too, another week or so and they are going home....into the ground

Some prettiness is waiting to be planted
