This morning the first thing we did is plant all the unsold tomatoes out in the 'field.' There is an area about as large as my garden (135'x100') outside the fenced garden, near the goat pastures. Matt always plants green manures and grains there. They just cut the wheat and crimson clover and tilled it up. He planted cow peas and that's where I planted the sweet potatoes and the long strip of sun flowers. The Bloody Butcher dent corn will also get planted there.
We had 26 leftover tomatoes that won't be staked, just left to sprawl. For being in 4" pots the plants looked pretty good.
I started picking lettuce for market but tasting as I went along and there was just too much that wa bitter so the lettuce is finished. Not much to take to market this week. I should have some beets, carrots, turnips, chard and kale as well as my flowers. Oh, radished too.
Then I planted my Maverick melon and the butter peas seed my friend asked me to plant for her. Got that all watered in and it started to rain but good thing I watered because the rain only lasted long enough to get me soaked. I finished up by doing a little weeding. Hoping we gat a bit more rain the next few days though.
