Tomatoes!
Last year I had three tomato plants...
This year I have five and they are all different! Yes I know that's crazy talk! This time around I will be placing each cultivar in its own pot. I hope that it will mean that we get bigger plants and more tomatoes! (Hopefully we won't be drowning in tomatoes just pleasantly submerged...)
What else should I plant?
I'm leaning towards nasturtiums because we received a free seed packet. They are eye candy and they make lovely (edible!) plate decorations. I will probably also purchase a mixed herb basket at the Jean-Talon Market because last year's worked out quite well in terms of our cooking needs.
Any other suggestions?

I just had dinner with my parents and they were kind enough to offload a few more giant earthenware pots! Woo! Now I have to buy more dirt in order to fill them!
One of these pots is so big that I think I might get a tree for it. There happens to be an orphaned ficus in our corridor...perhaps I will adopt it before it dies from lack of light and water. I hesitate to take it in because it clearly belonged to someone and I expect them to come and take it back any day now.
I should probably consult Mr. Bunny before taking in such a large stray... (The ficus must be six or seven feet tall!)
