Oh Why Little Tomato

So, of the 22 replanted,  why did two just die?  They are in in the potted area, so I need to watch how dry the soil is getting.  I'm loving the new compost from Cameron Park Nursery.  It is truly so much richer with actual compost material than that which I've been using from the 'big box' store which seems to be mostly wood chips. 

The peppers look like they made the transition from seeding into the garden. 
I have Ascent  (Thai), Anaheim College, Ancho Magnificio, Lady Bell and the green bell is California Wonder.  All the green bush beans popped up this morning.  Looks like I'm going to have a nice selection of green beans. 

The chive plant I purchased was so large that I divided it into two and planted.  They are in the big tomato raised bed.  Since they are a companion plant, the idea is that they will be low and under the tomatoes.  After success last year with pruning the tomatoes, the plan is to to the same again so I can have several types of plants in the the tomato bed. 

Still working to design a portable trellis for the tomato bed.  Hummmmm..

Well, off to the dirt.
