Yes i have had a fairly quite day today, by putting the tomato plant tubs into place were they are to grow. I said that i was changing the soil in the green houses which i did so now every thing is ready and just waiting for the right time to put in the plants.
What i have decided to do is to grow 5 toms in tubs and on the other side of the green house another 5 will go into the grown. By doing this i will decide which will be the best way to grow in the future . I have not forgotten the fact that i have put manure in the ground so it is going to be interesting to see the difference in the growing . I do know that the ph is going to be different because the toms that are going into tubs will be growing mainly in half soil and half compost so i will have to give a different type of feed which is no problem.
As to the plants them selves they are starting to really grow now and all the makes i have sown have germinated. It will be a few weeks before they get re potted but there is plenty of time before they go into there final places. The one thing i did forget to say is that like most plants the one thing they do need to have is nitrogen which is one of the main items to give growth.
I do find that making a few alterations in the way of growing is good because you learn so much and it is surprising the results you can get. I have over the years made several alterations in the way i grow things and at times i do get some surprises, mind you i also do get some disapointments but at the end of the day you have got to take the good with the bad.
I have decided this year to grow a few lettuce, but i have not made up my mind which type to grow my wife said she would like to have iceberg so if that is what she wants she will have. I will grow them in between the toms as there will be plenty of room.
Also today i got my pop bottles ready for the stump carrots which will be sown on the week end so up,to now all is going well. more info later on.
