Gardening~ Gardening Goals~ 6 Weeks After My Last Frost - Tomatoes



My tomato Plant
   
One of the My Gardening Goals~ 6 Weeks After My Last Frost was to check my tomato plants.  

Yellowing leaves

One thing I checked for is bad or yellowing leaves. I pick them off. I think they are this way, because they are over water. It has been rain a lot this month. I haven't even really need to water them at all. 

Sucker

Another thing you look for are suckers. They are branches starting to grow right next to another branch. All I do is pinch them off, and they are gone. You don't want them growing because the plant will focus more on them and less on making the fruit. 

I also check for signs of bugs or diseases  on the plant. As of right now the plants look like there is no bug problems. 

After cleaned up

Now all my tomato plants are checked up. I know which plants might need extra TLC. The other thing is I believe it makes it harder for bugs to settle because they don't like you in the garden. 

How offend do you check on your plants?

Here is more on what I'm doing in my garden this week.

Gardening - Planting Eggplant

My Eggplant Seedling Ready to be Planted

On Sunday I got a half-hour to go into the garden and get my Eggplant seeding planted. 

I decided that I wanted to plant them in with my garlic bulbs. After doing a lot of reading on Eggplants, I found out that eggplant and garlic is a good companion plants. It also gives me a new area to put it and a fence for it to hold onto. This works great for me!

Eggplant in between the Garlic

I weeded the garlic area and planet the eggplant in between two Garlic Bulbs.  I planted one every 4 feet. They are very spaced out, but that should be fine. 

Galic weeded and Eggplant Planted

Now my whole garlic area is weeded and the eggplants are add it for Cass. (she the only one in the house that likes them)  I did have an extra plant which I am taking into work for my boss.

How is your gardening coming?  What do you do with your extra seedlings?
