Day 7 - 18 more tomatoes IN

There were 37 tomato plants put in Day 6 and Day 7 I got 18 more in
... doing the math ... that's 55 tomatoes ... I said 56 from the start and
I'm sure I can rustle up another one from somewhere to hit my target
but I won't! I have quite a few to go in on the roof as well but I'm going
to wait until Saturday when I take Gayla's workshop on container tomatoes
so I know I'm doing everything correctly and can ask questions!

I am sore and even with having put on tons of sunscreen, I can still feel a
little tingle from the sun. Nothing too over the top maybe it's windburn ...
from my bending over and back up so often?


The new tomato patch with 10 tomatoes (black brandywine,
white queen, black krim, beefsteak, eva purple ball, ponderosa
pink, black plum, alicante, black plum, hillbilly, sun gold) ...


Four tomatillos this year (each year I've added another plant)!


The little shaded veggie patch is doing very well.



I pulled up these out of the tomato beds and need to separate them
and find a new place for them -but maybe I'll pickle some of them.


I found a little skull near the new zoo poo pile when I was digging
up some plantain weeds (good for your skin). I break the leaves & use
them to rub on my skin after I'm bit by stinging nettles - it really works.
