I planted out last week, then my mom killed about 3/4 of them "helping" me. She put the seedling flats outside in the sun with the domes on. Well they are ok to go outside, even with the domes on, but not to sit in the sun, out here in the desert, the sun even in winter is very harsh. So most of the little plants that were about a inch tall died. I had to replant. I swear her "help" causes me much more work than it should.
BUT what I can say about the desert, is that I have been getting nice ripe red Gardeners Delights, and Cherokee Chocolates for about the last 2 weeks. It has been very nice! AND my dad is getting the greenhouse up so that I can put some beds in there, and a work bench or two.

I plan to plant out somewhere between Feb 21, and March 1.
