  • My solution to transplant shock

    Hi All,

    Two yeas in a row I have noticed this. When I
    am transplanting my plants from the green house,
    I put some organic bone meal down the hole. And
    no transplant shock. They seem to be thriving!

    I use a mixture of equal parts 13/13/13 fertilizer , crushed
    eggshells and epsom salts for tomatoes and used it on my taters this
    year . 2 tbsp per hole , mixed with the dirt in the bottom of the hole
    so the roots don't get burned . I cut the E salts back to about a third
    for everything else . This is the first year I've used eggshells ,
    they're supposed to be a good source of calcium which is supposed to
    prevent blossom end rot .
    The vine stuff I planted a couple of days ago is doing OK now but Mom Nature did me dirty on transplant day . It was supposed to be cloudy all
    day and all the stinkin' clouds ran away and hid . Stuff wilted in the
    hot hot sun , but I managed to keep the wee darlins' hydrated enough to survive .

    You know, they have made slaves out of us: "Slave! Slave!
    More Water!!! Slave, Slave!! More chicken poop! A BUG!
    A BUG!! A BUG!!! WHAT DID YOU DO WITH MY OFFSPRING !?!?!?!?"

    "I took them for a drive in the country of course. They
    did not want top come back. Now go eat your chicken poop."
    Wonder if they will keep believing me.

    good deal!

    i water them in well. for fertilizer i use
    the worms and worm compost.

    we just got our plants today so it will be a
    busy few weeks now as i can get the gardens all
    planted knowing how many plants of each kind i
    have to fit inside the fenced area. the onions
    i can plant outside the fenced area as the deer,
    etc. won't bother them too much.
