Hi,
Newbie farmer here. Just planted out little farm. About 9 tomatoe plants spread 2 feet apart, 1 green bean bush variety thanks to our daughters Kindergarten class, and about 6 cucumbers planted 2 feet apart. It was a busy morning.
So this week looks like temperatures will be mid 70's during the day going down to about 50 at night. No rain for the first 4 days which is probably a good thing. Had a lot of rain yesterday so the dirt is nice and moist.
This year I even added manure to the little farm and purchased a nice watering hose extension thing.
I have the area fenced in with chicken wire.
So now I just sit back and hope nothing wilts and water every now and then, right?
I have some of those tomatoe cages and I need to get those on asap. Someone suggested using tomatoe cages for the cucumbers as well. I tried to get my cucumbers to vine last year but they didn't seem to cooperate. Seemed to want to stay on the ground. Should I just let them grow as they want or try to get them to vine onto something?
Thanks in advance for any more tips.
