A Day of Transplanting

We transplanted over 100 sprouts to bigger digs.  5 varieties of peppers, 3 varieties of tomato, and eggplant.  We had to stop because we ran out of dirt.  There is plenty more to do!

Delicate work.

Maisy likes to help.

Maisy wondered what the dirt tasted like.

I told her not to eat it.

She explained that she liked it and would eat it again at her next opportunity, which happened to be about 10 seconds later.

Morning Sun cherry tomatoes.  This is actually round two.  The first round will be in the ground early this week.  They will probably be the first tomatoes to pop up.

Serious plant hoarder status.  No more room at the inn.

Standing in front of the newest plot, which will house all the summer goodies.  Tomatoes, summer squash, cukes, peppers, eggplant, peas, and carrots.  Tim and my brother constructed the 6ft tall deer fence this afternoon so it will all be protected.

Maisy was through with helping.

That's some crazy farm hair (on both of us) and my 21 week belly.  Its hard to believe that we will have another baby before the summer is over.  Very much looking forward to meeting our little Hank.

A fun way to end the day!
