Today, among many other things…. I transplanted my tomatoes into the garden.
They look incredibly vulnerable.
They look like infants.
I may not be able to sleep tonight for worrying about them in the big wide garden world.
Some of those little green dots are basil seedlings.
I am re-thinking my strategy for next year already. I think I am going to plant WAY fewer tomatoes, but put them in larger pots. And start them just a tad later in the spring. I think mine were stalling out and needed to be put in the real soil sooner. I think they will do fine, but it would be nice to have more robust plants to put out. We shall see how things go. I am growing varieties that are more compact and should not require a lot of support. Most of these are determinate tomatoes too, so I won't have tomatoes going on and on into the fall, but should have a lot at once so I'll be able to can some. That's the official story. We'll see how it plays out.
I poked a few other plants here and there in the garden, not by this fencing and I STILL have these left over.
Even after giving away a BUNCH of them to other people.
I'm afraid I got carried away with the seeds this year.
(Ya THINK?)
