(Pat Kiewicz) wrote in message Time of day makes more of a difference with transplants, which are best planted in the evening or on a very cloudy day so that they have a chance to 'settle in' without having to deal with the stress of bright sunlight. do you organize your day in the garden so transplants are always the last thing before dinner? It has become second nature to me. More like I bolt out the door immediately after dinner.

So, you think my 22 tomato plants are a bit much for the wife and me? Not if you are planning to dry them, can them, freeze them or donate bushels of tomatoes to the Plant a Row for the Hungry campaign. -- Pat in Plymouth MI Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced.

wrote: I don't - but I temporarily cover them with chicken wire, with a white plastic garbage bag over the chicken wire (neither is touching the plants). This shades them from the hot sun and protects them from the wind as well. I leave the cover on all day if I've transplanted in the morning, maybe two days if it's really hot and sunny. Do you have any garden pics posted, Pat? It sounds as if you could create a great garden history/methods site. With 20/20 hindsite, it would have been instructive and interesting to see a pic of the frozen greens and how they recovered (thank goodness). |

We give veggies to our good neighbors, and they return the favor in various ways, but it's not as formal as barter - more like an exchange of gifts. People don't know that you need help! If anyone you know has ever admired your crop or your garden, they might be interested in helping you because they could enjoy your company, learn something, etc. There is nothing like sharing work in a garden to build community. |
