May 4, 2010

I planted the Heirloom tomato plant "Purple Cherokee" Lynn gave me.

I dug a twelve Inch hole, pinched off the lower two leaves and put about 1/4 cup crushed egg shells and a heaping Tbsp of Epson salt mixed with some of the loose soil in the bottom of the hole. I set the tomato plant in place,packed some soil and poured water on it. Then I pulled soil up and all around, being sure to make it firm.

I now have a variety of tomatoes in the garden. Maybe this is the year of the TOMATO!
I found some seed from Pete,Gene's Army Sgt, the TFIS, Lemon Boy, Brandywine, Roma, Jubilee, Yellow Pear, and Celebrity.
