The tomatoes have been growing at an exuberant pace. They have been taking over the greenhouse:We have been carrying them all outside during the day to harden them off and bringing them in at night. It's been warm during the day, but dropping into the high 30's and now low 40's at night.
Last night we made a roofless, plastic, rectangular holding pen to buffer them from the wind.
It was like being on a long hike to relocate them, 3 to 4 at a time, up to the field. Bend, wrangle them carefully into your arms, march steadily up, bend and slowly lower them to the ground. Keep repeating!
Waxing gibbous moon over 60% in the sky above us. And here's a photo of what seems not that long ago of Neil and some baby of our baby tomatoes...
On Saturday we will begin to put our tomato gang in the field. Including tomatillos, we have around 200 plants, including 14 varieties of tomatoes. Woo hoo!
