Busy Day Transplanting and Sowing
Sunny 32°C / 89°FToday my wife and I transplanted 4 of our tomatoes from the temporary garden to a upsy downy hanging tomato garden. Plants 1 and 2 are planted on top and 3 and 4 are planted on the bottom. We also sowed a package of onions into 50 separate peat containers and left the containers inside the garage.
