Time has come to move the tomatoes out into the real world! I've transplanted 4 of my tomatoes to my outside self watering containers (2 plants per container). I kind of lost track of which ones are which when I transplanted them the first time, but I'm hoping I got at least one of each variety. I've given away a few to my family, but still have plenty left. This weekend I planted the tallest ones as they were beginning to hit the grow lamp. When I planted, I buried them up to their second set of leaves. Otherwise, I think they would've been too tall and spindly to withstand any winds. We've had some fairly strong breezes, but they've seemed to have faired overnight well. I don't have any supports for them yet, but we'll get to that maybe next weekend.
I've also ordered a self watering raised bed from Gardener's so hopefully that will arrive by next weekend and I can plant my peppers and maybe even some beans.
Still contemplating on what to do with the old dog run. We may windup growing pumpkins just so it doesn't look so weed infested. That'll be a good project for the upcoming 3 day weekend!
