Eight Tomatoes Transplanted and Bean Trellis Built

Now that it is the middle of May and the weather is averaging in the high 60’s to low 70’s it is time to start transplanting.  I have only done my tomatoes so far and have dug holes for all of the plants that I have growing outside.

I transplanted eight tomatoes today and will do the rest of them over the weekend.  I wanted to place the ones that were starting to get root bound into the soil first before they start to get ill and dry out too fast in the hot sun.

The tomatoes that were moved into larger containers I can wait until the weekend to place them in the garden.  They have been growing quite well and hopefully I will get a large harvest from all my plants.

Yesterday was a good day to place the bean trellis in the garden as well.  This is usually a pain but this year it actually went up fairly easily than previous years.  Now that I have been doing this for a couple of years it is now much easier to put it up in just about an hour.

I will probably start planting seeds this weekend once I get most of the transplants into the ground.  The seeds that I need to plant are corn, beans, and carrots.  Some others will be planted as well, but these are the ones that will definitely need to be placed in the ground.

I also needed to start weeding my onions that are in totes as well.  Weeds were starting to overwhelm the onion plants and I decided on weeding them today.

I also placed mulch over one of the totes of onions.  I would place more except there has not been much rain which means less grass clippings to use as mulch.  I made due with what I had for now.
