Using our experimental method of mulch first, insert plant second, I transplanted our cabbage plants from their original home in the cold frame to their lifetime home in a row next to the tomatoes. Lay mulch, stretch line, lay tape for spacing, burrow through mulch, dig hole, go dig up plant, water hole, insert plant and Voila, done. That part worked. I have no containers left to put over the plants so am hoping the mulch will give them a disguise... although as I was planting a cabbage miller fluttered by.
I had planted 9 Early Suprise and I transplanted nine. They are on the east end of the row. The Wakamine Cabbage is next - only 9 of 12 plants made it. Krautman managed 11 plants out of 12. All of which nearly filled my cabbage/pepper row meaning I need to find some space for peppers elsewhere!
This morning, the day after planting, we are getting a good shower.
