Over the weekend, I picked up more tomato plants since they were on sale at the local garden shop = $0.69 each for a large container.
That puts me at 20 plants now, if they all make it. (I experimented with a few in a different part of the garden a month ago) I didn't have room for the last batch, until I remembered the section on the other side of the yard I had planned to turn into another planting bed, but haven't gotten to yet. Bye-bye dead grass, hello tomato bed (for now).
Of course, the crazy heat we've had in CO may kill everything green anyway... My poor plants.
I wish I had planted 20 - the deer really did some damage to the 8 that we planted. The plants are sprouting new leaders now though. So that's good. They just look wide and stubby.
I have a hard time not buying more plants than I have room for. I work near some awesome garden centers with a lot of variety and they all sell four packs of each plant for $1.99 each. I'm a sucker for tomatoes.
