I actually jumped the gun on my own planting dates and went ahead and began planting on 05/05 and finished the task on 05/06.
The night time lows are conducive to planting so I went ahead.
All planting holes were trenched out approx 1.5 feet.
I mixed the planting areas soil for each seeding with mushroom compost and a small amount of granular fertilizer. The tomato seedlings were placed horizontally in the trench and the seedlings stalk gently curved upward to reach above the soil line.
This will allow a stronger and more prolific root system to form as opposed to planting the seedling vertically in the hole.
A total of 17 seedlings have been planted.
I next move on to planting my 70 sunflower seedlings of different varieties and colors in various locations in the garden.
Photo's showing the progress of the tomato plants and sunflowers will follow as progression occurs.
