Always happens, I start more seedlings than I can plant. And then I feel responsible for making sure every one gets planted. One solution is to put the extra tomato plants in front of my house with a sign "Free Organic Tomato Plants." Then I secretly watch from the living room window to see who takes them. Two years ago two women with a toddler in a stroller walked by, stopped, did a double take and then doubled back. They took the toddler out of the stroller and loaded it with as many tomato plants that fit, and then headed back the way they came. I was relieved when the toddler toddled off with them and wasn't left in trade.
It's extra great when people come by and tell me how the plants are doing or how delicious the tomatoes were.
In the garden today
Other than giving away a choice selection of sweet pepper seedlings, not much happened in the garden today - at least not involving me. But yesterday, I planted even more peas and mulched stuff. Two years ago I planted oats as a cover crop in one bed. I never got around to planting anything in that bed, so a whole 'nother crop of oats volunteered last year. It provided good munching for Kitten and now, good mulching for the peppers and tomatoes.
