The tomato plants are in the ground today. For three weeks I have gathered plants. Three from the nursery-- 1 Red Pearl, 2 Super Sweet One Hundred. Two from the locally owned grocery that sells plants also-- 1 Sun Gold and 1 Dwarf Lemon Ice. Six from the Saturday morning farmer's market near us-- the 6 turned out to be 11 Sun Gold plants in six pots. I hadn't noticed until this morning that they hadn't been thinned out. What the heck. I couldn't separate them so I planted them as they were. In the ground and watered, no cages yet. I'll do that later this afternoon to keep the inexperienced deer from nibbling them.
It was pleasant to go to the farmer's market last Saturday morning. I hadn't been in years. It was a good way to start spring break. A head of lettuce, a bag of cherry tomatoes, a dozen organic eggs, and the Sun Gold plants. I hope to go more often.
