It’s time to transplant our tomatoes! We are planting hybrid and heirloom varieties this year. The heirlooms were grown in our little grow box and the hybrids were bought at a local greenhouse near Hamilton, MO. We have a few more heirloom varieties we are trying to grow from seed, but so far there are 14 plants out in the garden. We’ve transplanted Super sweet 100, Cherokee Purple, Carolina Gold, Amy Sugar Gem, Suddath Brandywine, and a roma.

Today’s project was to put together this little green house from left over scrap lumber and to get some seeds started. Originally I had intended on just setting the old window on top. When I fund a set of mismatched hinges I decided to attach them and make my little handle. I bought a 2×2 to complete this project, the rest of the material was already on hand.
Once it was together it was time to get some seeds started and inside the box. Various heirloom Tomato seeds and some zucchini are started and will hopefully poke through in about one week. If all goes well a tractor with an attached tiller will work over the garden tomorrow.

While making the rounds today with the watering can the girls and I found our heirloom tomatoes have all sprouted. We have 7 different varieties we will be trying this year and I’m pleased to say all 7 containers are showing signs of life.

This is our first year with a garden in our new home. So far we’ve done quite well and have been able to enjoy several fresh vegetables. This afternoon I will be going out to pick more zucchini, a bell pepper and cucumbers. Still to ripen are pumpkins, cantaloup, green beans, sweet corn and tomato.
