Tomatoes going in the ground.

KLorentz · May 29, 2010

Well at long last I will be planting some maters in the garden starting Saturday. Abe Lincoln will be the first this year. Some seedlings are really surprising me with their growth rate. And these where my last minuet seed sowing too and last potted up! Only potted up about 2 weeks ago where Black Krim,Black from Tula,Paul Robeson and Mariana's Peace. These plants are ready to go! Berkly Tye Dye and Earl's Faux have taken a big growth spurt and are sure to be right behind the others. So for the next week or so I will be planting a bunch of good maters.

On another subject my peppers are doing pretty decent too. The ones that are outpacing all others are my Chocolate Habaneros . They are getting their second set of true leaves and should be ready very soon. Bells should be ready soon too. Very busy weekend coming up. Oh and the pest patrol in the form of our local American Toad population are ready and waiting as they where last year. I am sure we shall have the rest of the amphibian population will be around as soon as everything starts bushing out. Who's worried about bugs?

Today is my tomato planting day, and the day for dealing with the flea beetles that are infesting the potato patch. Hopefully I can get the peppers in the ground tomorrow. The warm sunny weather over the past couple of weeks has made the plants shoot up so my 6 week old seedlings are almost larger than I would like.

Got some Abe Lincoln maters planted today..Also got a surprise looking through my plants. Now most of ya know about the cat prob I had a while back. All my Al-Kuffa seedlings where destroyed along with some others. I was pretty mad about these.Anyway I was potting up some plants noticed one lone seedling that came up. I thought nothing of it and potted it up.And then to be honest forgot about it. So here I am looking at plants today and I noticed one plant out of all the others that looked different. upon looking at it closer there could be no doubt. Only one tomato I grow has that type of leaf. An Al-Kuffa!

So I will get to save seeds for Al-Kuffa. Not as many as I would like but will have some.Very happy about this
