Our Big Weekend Day Three

Our little tomato seedlings were given their one and only car ride early Monday morning from the seed house to their new home! We filled the back of Donna's car with 80 or so plants!!

The next step was to plot out the beds in the tunnel. We used Elliot Colemans method of 30 inch beds and 12 inch walkways.

We also added compost and peat moss to the soil. Her the girls are having a very DIRTY time mixing the peat and the compost in the wheel barrows and then transporting it by the bucket load to the beds.

Once the beds were complete the tomatoes went in!

Our first crop in the high tunnel! It is so exciting to see it all coming together!!
