My babies that I have so lovingly grown found new homes today. I packed 12 Sungolds, 12 Odorikos and 2 Bloody Butcher tomato plants into a garden tray with 2 dill plants and headed out. I stopped at Shannon's to drop off 2 SGs and 2 BBs on the front porch while she slept. I also dropped off some geraniums and a dill for Patty as she visits Shannon often and I don't have time to drive cross town to Patty's house.
The rest of the babies came into work with me. Three went to the front office and then I sent out a note to a select few. Within an hour all of the babies had been taken to desks throughout my building, happy new moms ready to plant out their tomatoes this weekend. We had lively discussions about planting deep, the pot size one needs to plant in and a reminder to be kind to our local predator insects least we get stuck with veggie eating caterpillars. Once the topic turned to chemical sprays, I nixed the idea and stuck my fingers in my ears "la la la la la - NO chemicals!"
I have a number of mater babies at home ready to plant out this weekend in my own garden. Two days ago I had to transplant the Akers West Virginia as they grew too big for their 4 inch pots. I'm trying to come up with creative ways to plant all these maters in my garden plot and I'm toying with planting them in patches or circles. We'll see what my brain comes up with.
Til then, ttfn
