There were a few nights I had to cover them with buckets due to cold temperatures, but they survived without harm. I'm sure the non-stop rain contributed to the problem with speck that I had early on. The temperatures and weather are much better for tomatoes going in the ground right now, but I think I'm still a bit gun shy. I'll keep coddling my babies along for a few more weeks.<br /><br />A good friend gave me two good tomato tips that I will be following this season. First, mulch underneath the plants so diseases can't splash up from the ground soil. Second, once plants are tall enough, prune off all foliage that comes within a foot of the ground. That'll help reduce the chance of disease from the ground soil as well.Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17171937062608199395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3612733656275176261.post-10304357248901494762010-04-29T13:04:28.267-04:002010-04-29T13:04:28.267-04:00Great idea--can't beat 4 for a dollar!Great idea--can't beat 4 for a dollar!amylynn79https://www.blogger.com/profile/12552472174381769538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3612733656275176261.post-63054698105770179372010-04-29T12:40:05.669-04:002010-04-29T12:40:05.669-04:00They look good--and nice cheap tumbler find. Good ...They look good--and nice cheap tumbler find. Good for you for waiting to plant your babies out... I wish I had, and even though they're growing, I just *know* they aren't going to produce as well as they could've if I'd waited...Momma_Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00777829150647394160noreply@blogger.com
