Tomatoes

The tomatoes have been transplanted. On May 26, mom and I transplanted 10 Bloody Butcher's, 10 Big Boy's, 4 Sweet Million's, 4 Red Currant's, and 4 Cherry Bambino's. That's about a week earlier than we would normally do it, but it's been so warm, and the 10 day forecast looks promising, so if everything goes according to plan, there should be no shortage of tomatoes at the Rheaume homestead this summer.

 We will be waiting another week or so before transplanting the eggplants and peppers. The garden has been doing some serious growing in this warm weather, and the peas are starting to blossom.

All we are waiting for now is a nice rain shower. It rained about every day for a week earlier in the month, but it hasn't rained since then, and we've had a lot of hot weather. I've been watering them once or twice a day, and we have a lot of clay in our soil, so it has good moisture retention, but they're ready for a nice saturating rain. There's a 50% chance of rain on Memorial day, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
