A new season, a new home, a new garden full of my new tomatoes.

Awkward timing to move in the springtime
Seedlings will still be grown, less than usual with dwarfs and micros coming along to the new house and indeterminate plants will spend their summer at a community farm.
Excited to get resettled about an hour away from here. The new place has a tiny garden and a nice little greenhouse so it will be fun to make it mine as time goes along.

An edited and prioritized list this year but there should still be plenty of interesting things to post here along the way.
Here are some pics of my seedlings growing well out in the little greenhouse I’ll be leaving behind for the next homeowner. I hope they have fun with my garden

So glad you will have a greenhouse where you are moving to! I was afraid you'd have to disassemble your current one to take along! What a great bonus for anyone buying your house, I hope they are a gardener and can appreciate your property. Always exciting to make a move and work with new possibilities. At least your seedlings are still all in the portable stage. Lots of work ahead, but fun too!

Your seedlings look great as usual. I hope your new house has lots of sun.

Best wishes.

Good luck with the move and the exciting part of creating a wonderful new garden. Are you digging any perennials to bring?

Not really, I have a lot of potted plants to bring but in-ground plants will remain here. I’ll assess the new place, see what’s already there and go from there.

We look forward to your posts from your new garden.

Planting day yesterday out at the farm. The plants will be trellised, an assortment of my breeding project varieties-some hearts, pastes, beefsteaks and cocktails. Now grow little fellas!
Next up quite a few assorted short and sweet dwarfs planted in pots to take with us to the new place

Hot as fire with some record breaking heat for May.
32 degrees in the field yesterday and today but despite only being transplanted five days ago the seedlings are transitioning well. They will be trellised this week.
A couple of rows of unstable project tomatoes out in the open where it’s better to assess their form and weather tolerance without much interference or excessive pruning.
They will be on drip irrigation as shown. Heavy native clay soil ( (historically a river flood plain location)
Mulched with compost as shown. Organic growing practices are used at the farm.
In the tunnel seen there are tomatoes as well but those are F1 hybrids and stable Op that are pruned and single stem on strings from overhead supports.
Some of my stable varieties are in there as well.
We are growing all of my indeterminate varieties in these locations this year. The produce will be sold to support the non profit that operates the farm so I hope everything grows well. There will be some interesting things to show as they grow.
Getting the seedlings growing strong is job # 1
So far so good despite the heat wave
