Tomatoes Transplanted!

Well, I transplanted them yesterday.  Hopefully I didn't do too much damage.  I definitely heard the sad sound of roots ripping once or twice.  It's amazing how little of a root structure they have.  When we pulled up the blackberries last fall there was 3 times more root than plant.  These are just the opposite!

They looked pretty sad and droopy after transplanting, so I watered them and left to go out for the evening.  This morning (and what a beautiful sunny spring morning it is!) almost all of them are looking perky again.  So resiliant for being so small!  Kind of like children - they don't break, they bounce.

 I also planted some beans (kept inside with the tomatoes for now) and an herb mixture (also inside for now)  I'm excited to see what I get.
