When I planted the 36 pots of tomatoes, I put in 3-5 seeds per pot. Germination was good so today I transplanted. they were at the 4 well developed leaf stage. I ended up with 39 re-potted Rutgers and 52 super beef-steak tomato plants. The peppers didn't do as well, the year old seed did not germinate, but the new seed did well, so I have 16 re-potted pepper plants. Now I have 91 tomato plants and space in my plan for 24. I have 16 pepper plants, and space for 10.
The first week in June, a decision will have to be made. What will become of the 67 displaced tomato plants? the 6 displaced pepper plants? Will they be left to die for lack of resources? Will they be relocated to new frontiers, like Manitoba and Ontario north of the barn? Or Siberia, east of the chicken yard? Or will they find new homes in gardens on distant planets? Stay tuned for upcoming episodes of "As the garden turns."
