Hardening off

Barbee · April 23, 2009

It's getting close to planting time. I brought all the tomatoes up out of the basement today to start hardening off. I grew out 30 plants for one guy. I sent those home with him today. I gave a friend 3 plants today, and I have another 15 plants to pass out this weekend (hopefully tomorrow). I figure if I'm giving them plants, they can harden them off themselves

This is a pic of my 24 plants plus Earl's requests for CHOPTAG. I have 4 plants coming from Darrel and 3 from CHOPTAG. This is about double what I intended to plant out!

These are the leftovers. Some of these I will take to CHOPTAG and the rest are for sale. My little wagon works perfect for moving the plants in and out of the building/shade/sun as needed. There's about 60ish plants in here. My hydrangeas are just starting to leaf out. Hostas and other assorted perennials are just starting to poke through the ground.

I like the wagon....wide wheels!

Yep wide wheels and they are actual tires. So it pulls and turns great.
I don't know if anyone remembers a TV show called Evening Shade with Burt Reynolds in it. Anyway, there was a man on there called Nub.....who pulled his wagon everywhere he went. I always have one of my wagons with me when I'm outside. It's just handy to have with me.
So my family calls me Nub
