Seedlings

Well I put my biggest seedlings outside today, to start the "hardening off" stage. I read online that the last frost for Sudbury is around May 17th, so I'll take the next two weeks to put the plants outside for a few hours each day, to get them ready for the big transplant. I didn't know you had to do this until recently. Good thing my timing worked out right! The only thing that concerns me is that the peas are so tall they're hitting the top of my dome, and I don't want that because the dome gets very wet, and I don't want the leaves to rot. So we'll see how the weather goes. I may have to plant earlier than May 17th, and cover them at night so if there is a frost, they don't die. I have one very large tomato plant, and one not-so-large tomato plant. I did re-seed a few more, to replace the ones my cat ate, but they haven't sprouted yet, and I'm just crossing my fingers that they'll sprout and I'll have more than one tomato plant. Of course, I have no idea how many tomatos one plant produces, so maybe I'll rue the day I wanted to have 3 tomato plants, but whatever. You guys all like salsa, right? and bruchetta? and tomato sauces? You might be hearing from me when it's harvesting time :o)
