Garden recovery!

[love11]

So today has been a big day for me. Me and my grandma went to lows and got 4 tomato plants and vermiculite. Then me and my grandma built a fence for my garden out of plastic fencing and wooden posts.
Then I planted the 4 plants and me and my mother went to lows later that day and got 4 more tomato plants.

And a jeffy peat puck thing with 70 sites and I found this early girl tomato verity thats only 52 days and theres still 2.5 mounths left in the season so I sowed the seeds hopeing to get atleast 40 plants to put in my garden after the deer ate some of them.

So I'm happy today was a good day happy to plant the other 4 tomato plants tomarow.

Wonderful!

I transplanted about 40 toms from seeds maybe 1 month ago and now they are huge and so many! My neighbor instructed me to put down a good mulch layer because her family runs a huge farm. I used left over orgainc material from my radishes and grass clippings for mulch but I am using sun dried sweet corn husks because of all the sweet corn now. I think the general idea is it regulates the moisture in the soil and keeps the leaves from getting soil caked on them.

Did you steak them up or did you use something to prop them up? Thats important if you want good fruits!
Take care

I have grown tomatoes on a few occasions and they have always come out pretty well, with lots of them! I always staked mine but I didn't realize this was such an important factor.

Well I'll tell you love11 that for most of my gardening career I did a single planting of maters on or about memorial day. It didn't matter if they were determinate or indeterminate but they stopped producing while the growing season should have still going strong. (Not like I ever ran out though)

I friend who is really into his Maters plants a second crop around the first week or two of July and he picks and picks and picks...

As far as staking that just depends on how much effort you want to put into it. If you don't want to stake all 40 of you seedling just tell people you a practicing "French Intensive Gardening" and you will still get more Toms then you can use.

I have a gut feeling that you may be to late to be starting them in Jiffy Pots so let us know how your plan works. Lowes must be pretty much be giving Tomato plants away right about now and I see lots of room to fill in your neat garden.

Most of all have fun.

thanks

says 52 days from seed I sowed 3 days ago and there is still 2.5 mounths left 2 mouths in 60 days early girl verity

Idk I think I may have messed up the seeds but ill keep this updated a lil later when the plants get biger or have meaty herbs growing

I think it may be a bit late to sow tomato seed. Are you sure the packet said 50 days from "seed" and not from "transplant" ?. Toms typically take about 4 wks. just to reach transplant size.

Good luck, though . Hope you get a great harvest.
