The enforcer
Some readers have asked me why I don't have a picture of Stanley, the Chihuahua/dachshund who keeps the squirrels away from my garden. Quite frankly, it's because his ego is big enough as it is and I don't need that little 14-pound terror to attract a fan base, but, against my better judgement, here he is:
By the way, the big Mother's Day weekend frost-free date is coming up. That's usually a safe time to plant tomatoes. However, this year has been a very cool year. If you plant, and don't use walls o' water, I'd have a sheet ready to throw over the plants on cool nights.
Most area garden center sell planter tomatoes. I recomment these over trying to start from seed, which can take forever. My favorite, because of the variety, is Good Earth Garden Center.

Dave,
I recently discovered Good Earth and was amazed at the variety in tomatoes there. Do you have any idea exactly how many varieties they sell? Their vegetable selection in general was pretty good. We are trying some corn and sweet peppers this year.
