just a bttt.
Planted tomatoes two weeks ago — just two, and put those under caps. The other six plants (all are Romas) sat in the plastic packs all week, somewhat protected. Last weekend planted the rest, and removed the two caps, while adding a beefsteak.
Also repotted a volunteer from last year, one that had come up in the compost pile, and had survived the frost. I’d cut out a nice green chunk, rooted it in an old wine bottle, and after it thrived a few weeks indoors, potted it, and kept it alive and kickin’ all winter. I’d repotted it once, but this current pot should be its home all season. It is protected by a wall of water.
Here in Michigan, garden transplants are done near the end of May.
Tuesday, April 3, it was 84 degrees.
It snowed the next day, and that snow hung around for days. The following week sometime we had a slush storm, and that melted over a couple of days. It was up and down, but never really warm until this week. It has been beautiful.
