I hope you all had a wonderful Holiday Season! Mine was very relaxing and I actually found time to play in my light garden a bit.
I transplanted my baby tomato plants that I started from seed at the end of November yesterday. For my soil mix I used organic potting soil, perlite, sand and worm castings. I'm trying this mixture because I have found that in the past my soil for my plants in the light garden has been a little dense so I'm hoping this will lighten it up a bit and provide good drainage. Because we all know that tomatoes hate wet feet :)
I also bought some organic seaweed liquid fetilizer because I found that after a month or so my plants in the light garden seem to get a little stunted, so I'm hoping this will help. It's a very light fertilizer that can be used every time you water, 5-1-1 I believe. I still haven't perfected my lightgarden growing technique so if anyone has any suggestions I would love to hear them.
I really just would love to grow food all year around and not just in our short summer growing season.
Happy gardening!
