Some are staying in my veg patch at the end of the garden, others are going to the Lottie. The weather is more akin to April than almost end of May, sharp showers/wind then sun, I am fearful that after great care my tommos will perish. I will harden them off a little more and crossing fingers plant them out next week. <br />My excitment today is my corn seeds popped up! Love it.<br />MarianLondon(UK)MarianLondon(UK)noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28216161.post-27637475401660068852009-05-18T21:36:00.000-04:002009-05-18T21:36:00.000-04:00Your tomatoes in the garden are looking very nice!...Your tomatoes in the garden are looking very nice! It was really cold here last night. I put everything in the cold frame & poly tunnel, then anything big went in the shed. Looks like it was last cold night though :-)Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07743102355360873845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28216161.post-90878831141388277152009-05-18T21:24:00.000-04:002009-05-18T21:24:00.000-04:00I live in zone 6, SE PA and I never put my tomatoe...I live in zone 6, SE PA and I never put my tomatoes, peppers and eggplant out till the last week of May. Someone told me a long time ago that if your put these veggies out too early it will stunt them and they sometimes never fully recover. I don't know for sure but I just never take the chance.Tamnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28216161.post-51060710322594100452009-05-18T15:57:00.000-04:002009-05-18T15:57:00.000-04:00I live in USDA zone 6 as well (Kansas) and my toma...I live in USDA zone 6 as well (Kansas) and my tomatoes outside just did not like all the rain and cool temps --except for the Siberian tomatoes which bloomed and fruited!.<br /><br />In the last few days however, all my plants seemed to explode with growth. The weather outside did a 180 on us, turning sunny and warm.<br /><br />Now if I could just find cool stuff buried under my yard...David in Kansashttp://sewa-ania.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.com
