As we approach the official start of the summer season by celebrating Memorial Day this weekend. Many of us will be visiting family and friends enjoying ourselves with outdoor activities such as outdoor picnics, barbecues and most importantly recognizing are U.S. men and women who have given the ultimate sacrifice by serving our country through military service.

Then there will be some of us  who will be using that extra long weekend to get in some serious gardening time  planting flowers and vegetables for the the summer  gardening season. 

May 15th to May 31st  is the perfect time to plant many vegetables including tomatoes for the summer season ahead. One of my favorite types of tomatoes to plant are heirloom tomatoes. They may take a little more attention to grow than your regular hybrid tomato plant but what is so enticing is the many beautiful colors and shapes that the many varieties of heirloom tomatoes have to offer. Not to mention the full rich taste that you get from heirloom tomatoes when using them in a recipe or making a salad.

What I intend to do this weekend and you may want to do also is to go to your local garden nursery and pick out a few heirloom tomato plants such as brandywine's or sweet tangerines and add them to your vegetable garden for some brilliant color and good eats. Also take a look at our latest article on how to grow heirloom tomatoes.

We all have done some type of landscaping at one time or another. Going out on a Saturday morning to mow the lawn. Picking out just the right area in your backyard so your vegetable garden will have the most sunlight during the day. Staining your backyard deck to protect it from the wear and tear of the outside elements. Choosing just the right type of plants to accent those shady areas around your home.
