The few seeds that I do order online have mostly arrived already, and I've started a few in seed flats to get a jump on the season. The first two plants to come up were the freebie tomato seeds that I got on my order from Park Seeds! I guess free is best!
One thing I'm doing this year is being ruthless in thinning out the extra seedlings - I usually can't stand to pull up anything, but I think it's worked against me in the past, so this year I'm not falling for that. Here's the two little tomato plants that I'm re-potting today.
Spindly, huh? I made the newspaper pots using a tutorial I found on-line. They needed to get potted deeper to get a good start. I also started a flat of leeks today.
We've decided to build permanent above-ground plots this year -- last year's drought is destined to continue this summer, I'm afraid, so we're hoping to get ahead of it, and with me home all the time I can give it the attention it deserves. Yeah!!
Tomato plants in better containers...with a cup of tea! ha!
Are you planning on passing on some of the fruits of your labor? Cause my door is open :)
