First tomatoes are in the ground!

The new transplants - 5/7/13

This morning (May 7, 2013), our Tuesday morning garden group arrived bright and early to transplant 40 of our "babies" (Beefsteak Tomato Plants) into the Wheatley garden plot.  They also planted a garden box of garlic and sowed zinnia seeds into the middle of the Wheatley garden plot.  This is the first plants to go into this garden plot. 

Meanwhile, Julie and Devera were inside planting watermelon seeds (half regular type and half of the yummy white watermelon we planted last year), cantelope, honeydew melons, and eggplant.  They should be ready to go in the garden by the end of the month.

We'll plant more tomatoes on Saturday in the main garden and soon thereafter the peppers... it's starting to ramp up, with lots to get done in the next short amount of time.  We have beans to be planted as well as other seeds.

Thanks to all of YOU who have shown up for your assigned dates/time.  We can't do it without you!
