I built a small greenhouse for my seedlings and they are all loving it.

I'm using a roots organics 707 Soil and feeding with a vegan Grow nutrient very lightly.

I'm continually popping seeds and have about 100 tomato seedlings doing well.

Within the next two weeks I'll have about 300-400 and soon I'll have over 500.

My soil test results will come back very soon and I'm excited to see what I'm going to need to ammend.

The last frost out here is around May 25th so I still have some time, but that time is passing quickly.

Once the Soil Test results are in, I'll be purchasing 25-50 yards of top soil and organics according to the results. Then I'll be tilling it in like crazy.

Once the Tilling is complete I'll be making the rows and then building the fence.

I believe that I will be able to use my irrigation water to flood the tomato rows accordingly. The location I'll be planting is slightly sloped and I'll start the water at the top and the middle to get complete coverage... before I start I'll have some local farmers to my house to give some proper advice.... but one thing at a time!

So far all the seeds are sprouting within 3-5 days and doing really well.

I'm currently brewing a compost tea that always helps them grow stonger and faster and they will get their first dose in about 2 days.

That is all for now!
