Tomatoes & Peppers: Got 'em planted!, 1 by Ozark

I just put my tomato and pepper seedlings outside on our deck to harden off for a week or so - I ended up with 66 tomatoes and 42 peppers = 108 plants = 3 flats of 36 plants each.

This next week, we're predicted to have nighttime temps as low as 42 degrees and highs in the 60's. Cool temps will be good - I let my tomato seedlings get too big this year (mixed in too much rich garden soil) and need to slow their growth before planting them in the ground.

The protective wire mesh is because of my wife's outdoor cats - they think they have to lay on anything new. :>)
