… that’s a traditional planting weekend for many northern gardeners. Tomatoes can be planted now but keep the sheet handy to cover them up!! Tomatoes are one of the VERY few plants that like to be planted deep. They will grow roots from any point that touches the soil.
If you have transplants that are getting leggy, plant them deep for a sturdier plant. This year I’m trying a couple of different varieties. The ‘Yellow Pear’ which is an heirloom variety that’s supposed to be very good in salads and ‘Sweet Olive’ a small grape tomato known for not cracking. I’m going to try ‘Sweet Olive’ in a container this year.
