Transplanting

Transplanting is one of the most crucial aspects of farming. Julie and I checked out several farmer's markets in the area and picked up several flats of cabbage, collards, pepper, tomato, eggplant, and cucumber seedlings. We're all excited to get stuff in the ground. The key to transplanting is making sure the seedlings are planted deep enough and the plants are spaced out properly....and of course giving those baby plants plenty of compost and water! It was great to have the kids from World Impact come out and help. They did a really great job! That's what it is all about for us...using the garden to build community and relationships, all the while teaching people the power and beauty in growing food.
