Gardening to keep my balance

I transplanted the Roma tomato seedlings which were outgrowing the egg carton, and I think about 100% germination.



New potting soil mixed with old, screening to guard against squirrels.




Watering through the screening breaks up the stream and works like a fine spray, so it doesn't dislodge the teeny plants. I'll separate them further in a while. If they succeed, my friends next door will get some.



Speaking of which, the squash are steaming along, and if I train them towards the neighbor's patio, they can harvest them and cut out the middlegardener.

I'm literally tending to my own patch, to do my bit, for a small area of peace on earth.

  2. It is too early for tomato plants here yet but I planted the kale and cabbage plants.

    1. Ours are still a pleasure to come. Every year the first tomato sliced with mozzarella, great.
