Plant 'Em If You Got 'Em



Transplanted these seedlings to my container garden that were started at the 
beginning of the month of July.

Adding a natural sunscreen of Spanish moss helps with their immortality.
A drenching with some fresh tadpole spoiled water to get these young
hopefuls off  to a great start.

This volunteer Turkish tomato seedling stands tall next to it's cousin, the
cutting planted two weeks ago that is being subjected to something that
has quite an appetite for fresh green leaves.

Time will tell which one survives to bear fruit. Only to have it's fruit
eaten by this two legged beast.

Two to three days later. Volunteer seedlings is not touched except
today it was discovered that something was boroughing around it
and just had to resettle the soil. The remaining four transplants, not
so lucky. Three of the four totaling gone with nearly a trace. The last
one manage to escape from what ever hungry jaws were responsible.
So I covered the last set with a glass jar and covered that with some
Spanish moss. Hopefully it won't bake under our Florida sun.
