The Reine de Glaces and Tennis ball lettuces have been interplanted with the Yellow from Parma onions, and I couldn't have asked for better transplanting weather. It's been cloudy and in the upper 60's all day, with rain tomorrow and temps in the lower 60's for the next three days. I wanted to get a picture of the bed after it was planted up, but the seedlings are so tiny you can't see anything in the picture yet! It'll be nice when it fills in, though the landscape designer in me would have preferred to have been planting red lettuces with the spiky green onion foliage. But we don't use much red lettuce around here, so I hadn't started any yet.
I potted up more tomatoes: 16 Wapsipinicon Peach, 10 Opalka, 10 Cherokee Purple, and 7 Copia. I'd have kept on going, but I ran out of 4 inch pots! The rest are in our outdoor storage chest, and the spare package of shingles from when the roof was replaced 2 weeks ago is sitting on the lid. I had no idea shingles were SO heavy. I'll ask the hubby to move those tonight so I can finish potting everything up.
I've still got lots of tomatoes to go, and the peppers will be ready to move out of the cells soon. I've got Quadrato di Asti Rosso coming out of my ears, and the Orange Bell and Canary Bell are coming along nicely, too. Three Poblanos and four Sweet Banana came up after I'd given up on them, and just one out of my ten Alma Paprika sprouted. You can bet I'll be babying that little guy!
Speaking of little guys, this is where mine was while some of that work was going on..Who needs a playpen when you have a car?

You have been busy! And what a cute little guy you have...and a cute little girl's reflection in the car window :-D
Yikes! How many tomatoes did you sow in all? You are going to be busy come August! :)
Granny, I wondered if anyone would notice his biggest sister there!
Kelly, I've got about 130 tomatoes in all, but all the ones I don't use I plan to donate to one of our local community gardens. I kinda went nuts over having a greenhouse and actual seed starting flats this year, instead of the usual cobbling together of odds and ends. What can I say, power corrupts.... ;-)
