Garden, Plan C

We're getting there...

The raised bed just wasn't working, not enough sun.  When the tomato plants reached about six feet tall and were stretching, stretching, stretching toward the sun, growing sideways rather than up, we decided it was time to take drastic steps and move the entire garden to a sunnier spot.  It took most of the day and, of course, it was hot and humid, but we succeeded. 

Bill used "The Biff" to dig a big, long hole in the yard and we attempted to move three of the tomatoes at once, using the bucket on the tractor.  What a joke!  As soon as he picked them up, the cages fell every which way, the dirt fell off the roots and we were lucky to get them moved to the hole without further mishap.

After that, we decided to just dig each one up separately and move them into the hole.  

Then we moved the pepper plants and watered everything in really well.

It was a dirty job!  Fingers crossed.

Thanks for stopping by...
