Staying Cool

Filed under: General, Cole & Greens, Tomatoes — Robert @ 4:53 pm

Last week I transplanted the tomatoes to 4-6 inch pots and planted the broccoli plants in the garden.  I planted several of the broccoli plants near the neighbors fence to the west to see if half a day of sun is enough.  The tomatoes will get to soak up some outside sun for the next couple of days; but then coldish weather returns and looks like it will stay for a while.  I want to plant the tomatoes outside under frost cloth as soon as possible, but I would like temperatures to be in the 60s during the day.

Continuing to harvest lettuce, arugula, greens and fennel.  Next week the beets and carrots will finally be ready.  The cold weather really slowed their growth this year.  The sugar snap peas are growing nicely, but are a long way from producing food.
