We spent most of the day last Saturday planting the tomato seedlings we started back in January, It took most of the day!  There were 72 in all plus two store bought yellow pear plants, and it sure got hot out there for late March. We also planted the chiles we had ready , also two sets of store bought Jalepeno peppers, our jalepenos didn’t sprout this time.

Once we got into a pattern it went much quicker, I would dig the holes while Cathy and my mom would drop in the seedling and back fill, we swapped out every now and then.

I’m keeping the water going pretty hard for the first two weeks until they get a good start , then i will back it down a little, and hope we get some rain!

Right now the pics of the plants aren’t that good since they are planted so deep but here are a few!

So now I need to start a few more for the second go round later in June, keeps us in tomatoes all summer long! Yay!

Once they fet a little taller I’ll pile a bunch of mulch around them and we should be set for the summer!

Summer Squash coming up.

On another garden note the summer squash are coming up, we direct seeded yellow and green zucchini , some strait neck yellow and some crook neck squash. They are all poking thru and getting ready to take off.

Well there it is for today, everything else is putting along, the corn had a catastrophe, I think squirrels got to it and pulled up most of the seedlings, so that will be a replanting next project this weekend. Anyone eat squirrel? I should have a bumper crop soon, lol, not!

Anyway , I’ll keep ya posted!
