Prepared And Planted The In-Law's Garden


On Friday my wife replaced one of our struggling seedlings in the “koi pond” with Aunt Ruby's German Green. She also planted Sweet 100 in a pot in the back yard, as well as watering as much of the front and back yards as time permits. I caged the volunteer in the front parkway.

On Saturday my wife and I visited her parents, and her father in particular. He's slowly recovering from surgery. In the late afternoon/early evening I turned the dirt in her open patch of dirt, made seven holes and prepared the dirt to go back into these holes. My wife planted the seven tomatoes. An image of these seedlings are at the top of this post.

On Sunday we noted that two of the replacement seedlings were doing poorly in the “koi pond”. I watered the seedlings in the “koi pond” but after visiting our former neighbor in Rancho Palos Verdes, the two bad seedlings didn't look any better. Fortunately we have replacement seedlings if we so choose to use them. One of the bad seedlings looks like it was fatally damaged by cutworms.

We plan to plant some more in pots this evening.
