Today I used the ridging hoe to dig up the entire bottom bed. This was to break up the soil and mix in the manure I spread there on Tuesday. After drying out a bit, it is better composted that it initially appeared. Tomorrow I am going to be working on the trellis for the tomatoes as well as cutting a number of stakes. I decided not to build 3 different trellises and instead am just going to build the one and then use stakes for the other 2 rows.
The remaining mammoth melting snow peas were also planted. I ended up using all the seeds I had with 200 seeds, seeding 27’ of doubles rows. The peas that were planted almost a month ago are doing great and are about 6” tall.
I started to harden off the tomato plants last weekend and on Monday started to harden off the peppers as well. My plan is to have the tomatoes in the ground next week around the 24th and the peppers any time after the 26th. So far I haven't had any problems hardening them off they are tall sturdy plants. Well the tomatoes are a little bendy just because I couldn’t get the light any higher than it was.
