On Sat. May 16 I planted another round of tomatoes to bring the garden total to about 29. A couple from last weekend had died - little ones that probably had some unseen damping off when i planted them. I replaced them with new ones. Also, I planted 2 basil plants, 6 garlic cloves and about 40 onion sets. We got rain today so the soil is in pretty good shape.
I will need more crampons and weed mat. Maybe some straw mulch to cover up non-mat spots. I gave up on cutting slits in the weed mat for the tomatoes - too much work, too many crampons, too much damage to the mats. So I am now just putting the tomatoes between mats. But I am keeping the mats closer together than last year.
I still don't have the whole garden covered but I have a couple of weeks before it will get to be a problem with weeds.
I really want to get the new tomatoes all in ground on weekend of May 30.
