Broken Knee Tomatoes!

Vespertino · April 3, 2014

My Zephyr summer squash, Sugar Ann snap peas and thai basil are sprouting! It seems like I just planted the seeds a few days ago and POP they have leaves! I'm hunting around for info on what size grow bags to use for the squash and peas. My shipment of bags came in and I have 1, 3 a 7 gallon sizes. I'm leaning towards using a 3 gallon bag per plant.

My late batch of Rose Quartz Multiflora is starting to sprout roots so I moved them into peat pots, since it's a cherry I'm hoping it will still thrive in the heat despite the late start.

I'm still waiting on my delikatesse cukes and edirne eggplants, but I literally just got them started so it's unrealistic to expect anything yet.

In the meantime I set up some crummy, makeshift wind protection with short bamboo and plastic wrap for my planted tomatoes- it's working! 6 ft bamboo poles are on my shopping list so I can make protective teepee trellises eventually.

Even if I have bad luck with my tomatoes I'm hoping for some veggies to make it through.
