Is also dry enough to start planting . Got the weeds knocked down and
the garden tilled today , and started planting with some Rutgers
tomatoes . Got too hot (and I broke my posthole digger*) so I knocked
off about noon . I did get all 8 seedlings planted and the spots for the
Roma tomatoes are marked out . In the morning while it's cool I'll get
the rest of the tomatoes planted , along with the peppers . I'll also
get as much of the direct seeded stuff in as I can before it gets too
hot and I wilt .
What does a post hole digger have to do with gardening you ask ? I
use it to dig the holes for my seedlings . Extra deep and a little on
the big side so I can partly fill the hole with a mix of dirt and rabbit
manure before I place the seedling . Them rabbit droppings is Good Shit
for the garden ! (pun intended)
