Default Instant bonus tomato patch!!!!!!!

As I think I mentioned before I said I planted some tomatoes in the dirt in the back yard after scraping away the horse herb.

The reason behind this is that I had some good tomato friends send me seeds for green tomatoes as I have never had one before.
((((Thanks tomato friends)))))
I needed to plant them somewhere so I found this spot.
It has for years been collecting run off debris from all of the rain and is of a nice red sandy loam soil.
I helped some this winter with a little water diversion project I had going on.8)
So what the heck I will plant something here.
After my return from work I found the plants to be doing great so I figured I would help a little not a lot but just a little.

So first I mixed in some composted manure then I loaded up a load of decayed leaves that collects in the front yard in front of the house after it rains and mixed it in.

Then I decided to put in a drip system to help the wife water the things this summer.8)

If you will notice I started with 9 plants but I did not like the way the drip line would have to be run.
So what the heck I had some plants in a holding pattern so I added 3 more so now that makes 12 plants.

I just turned up more of the yard with a hoe, a free hoe I might add.

I’m just too lazy for raised beds and I don’t think everybody needs them.

So here it is.
Enjoy
