PLANTING TOMATOES!!!

Daffodils and anemones blooming in the front garden
Another sunny day in Paradise
Today was a big day for the garden!  We picked up our tomatoes from Chuck!  They are absolutely beautiful!  15 plants/14 types.  They are tall and stout and look incredible.
Planting tomatoes in Bed #1
Eight down, seven more to go.
All planted
We planted them in beds 1 and 2 and set them safely in their walls of water.  Setting up the walls of water required some teamwork!  There is one determinant plant which we will plant in bed number 3 tomorrow.

Team work on the walls of water!

Tiffany and tired Xena helping with the walls of water-more team work!
Almost done - it takes a long time to fill these
We turned over bed three today and discovered it had the worst grub infestation we've found to date.  We must have killed hundreds of grubs from this bed.  It was truly disgusting.  We need to get chickens!!!! After getting this bed turned and amended we were too tired to continue so will have to plant the last tomato tomorrow.
