Tomato Prep

My new Intervale outfit consists of wool socks, balled up thickly around my ankles, long Carhartts, a thick long sleeved t-shirt, a wind breaker over that, wraparound headphones to protect my ears, the wind breaker hood over those, sun glasses, and thick gardening gloves. It makes the mosquitos almost bearable.

I finished prepping the tomato rows tonight - the stakes are in, all the compost that I had left is spread on top of the soil, and the straw is all pulled back enough for the soil to warm up a bit.

Prepped tomato rows

It's supposed to be sunny and HOT tomorrow but then cloudy and/or rainy all weekend. I'm hoping to get the plants in tomorrow night but I'm building beds in Craftsbury tomorrow so tomatoes may wait until Saturday. Either way they should have an easy day or two to start out.

Borage seedlings in the onions

There are probably 100 borage seedlings growing in my onions all of a sudden. There was a huge borage plant growing in one corner of my garden last year and it seems to have left me something to remember it by. These are likely to meet the hoe soon but they look cool in the meantime.
