Tomato Seedings Transplanted for 2019/2020
Today I transplanted tomato seedlings for the summer season of 2019/2020. I had enough seedlings for two garden beds. I put 24 seedlings in bed #2, and 6 seedlings in the bed along the fence on the eastern side. I also put 3 seedlings in pots.
Here's a rough plan of the tomato plants in garden bed #2 (refer map):

As for last year, all tomato seedlings grew from seeds purchased from a large supermarket. The pack said they were "Tiny Tim" seeds, although most of the seedlings that were of a different variety (refer last year's post for more details). Some seedlings also emerged spontaneously from tomato scraps discarded in compost heaps.
Elsewhere in my garden I planted silverbeet, parsley and basil. Also, rockmelon seedlings emerged by themselves from rockmelon scraps thrown into compost.
