TOMATOES,TOMATOES

I planted the tomatoes today. Remember to place cans around all young plants. I ran out of cans about half way through. The wind can destroy those little plants. Hopefull they will make a recovery with a little tender care. The 85 degree temperature today did not help matters.

Spring Planting

We have now planted egg plant and peppers. The wind has been a factor in getting the plants int the ground. We are using black fabric cover to prevent weeds. We are also covering every plant with #10 cans with removable lids. Hoping to plant tomatoes this week-end. They will also need protection from the wind and possible cold temperatures since it is still March.
