Tomato plants left the green house for the great outdoors first week of summer.  They were planted, north to south along the sheep fence of  the big garden in the following order:  Arkansas Travelers, Sungold, Brandywine (Men’s Garden Club), Roman Golden Wave, Fir Tree, Zuchello, San Marzano, Stupice Heirloom, Crimson Carmelo, Fir Tree, Blondkoffchen, and Italian Heirloom. 

I also planted the bell pepper starts I purchased at the Men’s Garden Club sale but they look pretty stunted already and may not recover.

The first day was just that, the first day of actually decent weather.  It was a beautiful day in the mid 70’s, but was followed immediately by cool, wet weather.
