FINALLY- Tomatoes, Peppers and Eggplants


Plant your tomatoes if you haven't all ready. I have these multi-transplanted tomatoes that are begging to go outside. STILL, KEEP THEM COVERED, under some kind of cloche, plastic, dry cleaning bags...but the next several nights will be warm enough at night to keep them from turning blue. Really, when cold they fail to draw up calcium and they turn purple.

Yes, it has been a miserably wet May. The wettest in history! That being something like 130 years...

Plant your tomatoes DEEP. Lets say you have 10 inches of stem, remove the bottom branches and plant it several inches deep. This will promote root growth. Any you know how I feel about roots. LOVE 'EM!!
