You did it. Yay team!

The tobacco do look a little raggedy. Make sure you don't have any little green worms on the bottom of the leaves that are eating the leaves.

My solution is to squish them between forefinger and thumb, but apparently that has too much 'yuck' factor for some. ;)

Do you have a recipe for those little green worms? ;)

The ragged leaf on the larger tobacco plant next to the tall T squash is the leaf Prissy bit off. The others that look a bit ragged happened immediately after I transplanted them, like the next day some of those leaves just started melting away. They actually look good compared to the way they did look. I think there are six of them now that will be okay.

On the top of the Walking Onions, you will see a bit of white stuff, that is the onion beginning to make and you can see the bit in front of that hanging down that will go to the soil to make another onion plant.

The tops of the onions in the net room became bent when I covered them with row cover due to those two cold nights. There are lots of onions there. Can't see the carrots in the bags behind the onions as those carrots are truly babies right now. That was my fault for thinking I could grow them from seed in the house and transplant. They don't transplant worth diddly so I started over in those grow bags with seeds.
