EARLY SPRING.....

Here is the vegetable garden. The daffodils are in full swing. OK, they are not
vegetables! Festus, my scarecrow
enjoys them! The swiss chard and
spinach are sprouting nicely.
I have prepared the spots for my
tomato plants. I only dig the area
to be planted. I dig in a generous
amount of peat moss along with
a good organic fertilizer. When I
put in the tomato plants (and all
other plants) I use a gallon of water
mixed with a tablespoon of fish
emulsion. I dig the hole,put in some
of the mixture, put in the plant and
water with the rest. This keeps the
plants from wilting which can weaken
them. Especially if planted in the sun!
