Nurse Ratched

Definite improvement this week as I was able to move the seedlings out to the hoop house thanks to nice weather. I hardened them off for a couple days in the south flowerbed before I moved them. I mean look at the change in color😍 Those grow lights just weren't enough. I'm excited to see how much they improve next week. I'm probably going to have to transplant them again, I should have done larger pots last week, oh well. That's hindsight for you. We're at 14hrs 59mins of daylight, and if the weather keeps up like it has been, seedlings will be going into the ground soon. I am a bit concerned with how dry it's been. We had a moderate drought last summer and if the past few weeks are any indication, it's going to be worse this year. I'm definitely going to be mulching, and I was thinking of doing a raised bed, fencing it off and prepping for a fall tomato roof like I did a couple years ago. But I feel like if we're going to have a really dry summer then it's probably best to get these girls fully in the ground. The best place would be in the oldest part of the garden where there's the most topsoil that I've built up over the years. It'll retain the most water and be more biologically active. I just have to decide which one, and be careful again about who I let in to my Garden.
