This morning I called Duff Shelley in American Fork telling him that Robert will pick up the lawnmower. I also, mailed a check.
Robert came, but did not pick up the lawnmower. Frank's trailer was still being used by someone else. But we did begin to work in house two on the grafted tomato plants.
He cut part way through the grafted stem which force most of the growth to develop at the cut. Some of the grafts did not take and some tipped over at the cut. The red clamp is holding top part upright.
We then began transplanting the tomato plant in house one. Those tomato plants in quart pots require a big hole. Robert began by digging a hole and then putting the plant into the and back filling with the soil. We put about a tablespoon of Osmocote in each hole. The 2x2 eight foot redwood is marked every eighteen inches. He began digging five or six holes, then put in the fertilizer, and then the plant. After awhile, he dug the holes and I added the fertilizer, and did the back filling. That went much faster. We planted two beds each with two rows. We planted on the east sides tomato plants that were in six packs. With a smaller hole we planted much faster.
We planted the cherry tomatoes first. Some of those plants had fruit. We laid down the drip tape and hooked it up to the timer. Those on the west bed were watered earlier with a hose.
The above picture shows the two beds with each having two rows. There was a couple of holes in the drip tape.
Robert fixed one of them. I fixed one near the end of the line. Then I found another small leak. I cut it off and attached a new piece of drip tape with the coupler. It is pictured above. got a new piece of drip tape
Robert is picking some stir fry peas.
Robert transplanted all of the plants for his garden and most of them are sitting on the above bench.
He gathered up some lettuce, cabbage, kohlrabies, and
After super I took a tree basket that is not very good. I was able to make six toma-hooks.
