[QUOTE=carolyn137;665853]It's been a rough day here at home,so I apologize for asking

(The babies are 2 weeks old today. A team is coming over to transplant them. I am going to feed them pizza.)

If I can assume that the team would get the pizza since I understand the babies would be too young to deal with it.;)

Carolyn, who should call Pizza World here and order for home delivery,now that you have me thinking pizza.:lol:[/QUOTE]lol, yes Carolyn,pizza was for the humans in the transplant team. Also heath bar crunch cookies, and cut up fruit from Publix. We had such a good time, all were master gardeners, so lots to talk about.

[QUOTE=wildcat62;665856]Looking good[/QUOTE]Thank you.

[QUOTE=KarenO;665858]ah the little darlings...
Love love love transplanting tomato seedlings, wish I could have some pizza too.

excited to watch the progress!

It would have been fun to have you here. Like about 25 KARMA seedlings, plus others.....;)

The kind that needs immunosupressants after, no doubt. That would be exciting. Wow, you really are brilliant if you did that.

KarenO September 23, 2017 08:49 PM

It was the most challenging role I have had certainly.

Tomato and pepper babies had a day to rest, now out in full shade to start hardening off. About 8 days until full sun.

Nice fat looking babies! Do you have to move them every day to harden them? Your flats look very efficient to handle the volume.

Yes, they will be moved a bit further everyday until they get full sun. By then they will be large enough to handle our afternoon thunderstorms too. The flats were bought used online for $4 each, with shipping it came to $8 each. So worth it. DH drilled holes into them for drainage. They are so heavy duty they will be there long after I am gone, lol.
One is a cardboard vegetable box covered in a clear plastic hefty bag because we ran out of red boxes. I got a little overzealous in seed sowing, haha.

Nice. Is it hot out? KarenO

ginger2778 September 25, 2017 10:52 AM

Yep, very hot. Feels like was 87 at 7 am.

Oh, wow. Just realized you don't have to shuffle under lights in
a basement with 4 ft of snow outside, :x:D

We hit 95 yesterday and 92 today. Central Park must have broke
a record at I think 98+

Looks great.

This is two weeks after transplant. They have grown amazingly well. We only lost one tomato plant and two pepper plants out of approximately 375 plants. I had a wonderful crew this year helping me. Everybody was really good. I'm about halfway through with replenishing all my Earthboxes too, I think it's going to be timed just about right.

KarenO October 7, 2017 06:02 PM

looking fantastic so far :)

Nice outdoor nursery of baby tomato plants. It all looks great as I watch leaves fall from the trees!
