Our seedlings have been living the plush, comfortable life in a tray in our family room window. Sorry kids, out you go...
It's time to show these youngsters the way outside where they will now have to sink or swim in the cold, cruel world.
Actually, it's pretty warm now that spring is here and we've made a nice, comfortable, and nutritional bed for them with our tilling.
The little peat pockets I've started them in snap right off of the tray.
Next, a small hole is just right for that little peat pot. The plant stays in it as the whole thing is put in the ground so no transplant shock and the peat serves as food for the plant.
Time to water in.
Some plants, like the tomatoes and this canteloupe, need some protection from predators so I put this wire basket around them to keep the bad guys at bay.
Now, they're all part of the garden. Let's get ready for the harvest later.
