Perfect day to transplant

After a solid two days of slow, steady rain, we finally received a day of sun. The soil in my garden is completely saturated and my rain barrels are full again. (I’m kicking my self for not yet acting upon my cascading rain barrel plan…. I’d have five full barrels if I had…. *kicks self again*)

So, I figured it would be a good day to transplant – and I was right. The soil was VERY easy to dig and mix in nom nom soil goodness with what I already had. Now, six of my fifteen beds are completely planted. Completed beds include five beds of tomatoes, garlic, carrots and basil; and one bed of strawberries and lemon thyme. (The thyme is absolutely HUGE.)

Also transplanted one of my pole bean plants today – it was started to tie into my grow lights so I figured it was time to get it outside. Into bigger pots went bells, jalepenos, and ancho peppers, some beefsteak tomoatoes, and finally cucumbers.

Next week’s transplant plans are to move the rest of the pole beans and the cucumbers into their respective beds and possibly transplant my chives and oregano to where they should be. (They are currently in windows boxes which I’m going to give away)

Enjoy your week!
