Heirloom Tomatoes 2015
Its time to put the 2015 tomatos into the ground.. and so they did this past weekend (2015 May 30/31). We have moved past the last killing frost of the year and it is time.
The 86 plants have been hardened off for the last week or so. The bed was tilled up, weeds and grass pulled, 3 yards of new triple mix garden earth was added, sheep compost added (0.5,0.5,0.5 at about 1 bag per 30 ft^2), tilled up again, raked smooth, and around the perimeter, weed cloth and sawdust to keep the grass and weeds farther away.
It took about 3 hours to plan, plant, put in signage and update records.
Plants were approx 1.5′ apart in a bed, and approx 2′ row spacing.
It was cool, cloudy and windy with severe thunderstorm warnings for the area.
The 3′ chickenwire fence was inspected and repaired where needed.
The 7′ high deer fence was inspected repaired and where needed.
