I only get pathetic little plants that can only benefit from getting out to the garden since it saves them from my tender mercies. Your pepper plants are gorgeous!Carol@KeepingUpWithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07871321912848663903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-35693683951868213812009-05-02T07:40:00.000-04:002009-05-02T07:40:00.000-04:00Josie, thanks.

They are easier to take care of in paper pots than in soil blocks.Daphne Gouldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17305049560953735881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-50788019598421972702009-05-01T21:56:00.000-04:002009-05-01T21:56:00.000-04:00good luck with your tomatoes! they look great so f...good luck with your tomatoes! they look great so far. <br /><br />i also hope your husband can keep the tomatillos alive so i can read more about them.Joannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02325157762050034156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-25123388874828638782009-05-01T16:35:00.000-04:002009-05-01T16:35:00.000-04:00Tatyana, thanks I hope they live through it too.
...Tatyana, thanks I hope they live through it too.<br /><br />our friend Ben, well I'm glad I'm not the only person. We will both be wishing for warm weather now.<br /><br />Dan Ack! I hope my husband can handle the few plants that are left. I still have my tomatillos and my eggplant. Oh and my lemon basil. I'm really hoping he can handle a little watering.<br /><br />Henbogle, you are farther north than I am. Good luck.<br /><br />Perennialgardener, thanks.<br /><br />fullfreezer, Ah more gardeners with foliage challenged husbands. I so thought I was the only one. Many of my friends have both wife and husband in the garden, not me. As to frost. We usually don't get them here at my house in May. I hope that holds, but we have set a lot of records this year, both high and low.<br /><br />EG, I have to. I still have tomatillos and eggplants in the house. They are too small to survive outside yet. Plus those eggplants hate the cold more than tomatoes and peppers do.<br /><br />Frances, true there is nothing for me to do about it anymore. I'll just wait and see.Daphnehttp://daphnesdandelions.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-90252039261550438062009-05-01T08:00:00.000-04:002009-05-01T08:00:00.000-04:00Hi Daphne, your plants look wonderful but I had to...Hi Daphne, your plants look wonderful but I had to laugh at the neophyte assigned to plant duty and his reaction! I think you did the right thing. The row cover might be the saving grace here. I have decided that my tomatoes were started way too early, had to go outside too early and ended up getting zapped, even with row cover. I bought some and planted them, and now the dead seedlings are regrowing. Lesson learned. Have a wonderful trip and worry not about your plants, since there is nothing you can do about it anyway. :-)<br />FrancesFranceshttp://fairegarden.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-36521446927025950582009-05-01T00:26:00.000-04:002009-05-01T00:26:00.000-04:00The plants look fantastic!

We're also forecast for cool and cloudy but I don't think below 40. But I'm not going to plant them all- I've seen frost well into May here. <br />I'll cross my fingers for you that your weather will cooperate. I asked my husband to check my plants that I have out at the new house and he gave me such an interesting look. He can deconstuct a house but ask him to water a tomato!?

It is still darn cold in their at night, but I will dig out the wall o waters and some milk jugs and more row cover and plant them this weekend.

Good thing about plants is you can always replace them with starts from the nursery. <br /><br />I recall having my neighbor water my outdoor pots one summer well I was away. She watered them until they rotted and died, in a matter of 5 days!

Especially since you put the row cover on them. It's quite cool again here, but I still think the plants are happier in the ground and container where their roots can stretch out than in the little pots. Yours certainly looked happy, too!our friend Benhttp://ourfriendben.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-5240117742037446992009-04-30T16:12:00.000-04:002009-04-30T16:12:00.000-04:00Hi Daphne!

It got cold, and they were standing there, turning purple, and I was suffering just looking at them. Well, they all survived. They didn't give fruit earlier than other plants that I planted later. I hope everything will be O.K. with your babies. Tomatoes are tough plants!Tatyana@MySecretGardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15230255354868127650noreply@blogger.com
