Vegi time!

Today Wilson and I were all set up to plant tomatoes in his family's vegetable garden. His PaPa had planted his 4th of July tomatoes from seeds in his greenhouse, sitting on a heating pad under a warming light. PaPa said he wanted us to put a scoop of the Miracle Grow Potting Soil in each hole under the plants.

Then Wilson was called to run a tractor, leaving me alone with the plants. For someone with such a black thumb, this was so intimidating! Three generations of professional farmers are depending on me to plant their tomatoes? Isn't planting one of the most important parts of the process?

PaPa and Wilson's dad Poppa came out to ask where he went, and to see just what in the heck I was doing in their garden. They told me exactly how they wanted the tiny plants put into the ground - and I followed directions.

I planted the whole row (14 plants) of 4th of July tomatoes. Then put the other 23 into pots and in the greenhouse.

When Wilson got off the tractor, we ran the soaker hose and watered the new babies.
