Harden Off Your Tomatoes!
14 May
It’s that time of year…Time to get the tomato plants (that were started inside) ready for transplant!
In general, plants are prepped for transplant by being exposed to the outdoor elements at increasingly longer durations each day for about one week. Start now to get your tomato plants ready to go into the ground next weekend. At first, leave them outside in the shade for just a few hours…Find detailed instructions here.
We hope to hold a transplant event this weekend, on Saturday evening or Sunday, depending on the forecast. But since it’s going to be in the 70s this week, and Memorial Day is the following weekend, the plants need to be planted.
Watch this space for more info, and get your tomatoes ready to go into the ground!
Planting today @ 6pm (5/12)
12 MayWe are going to get more flowers and herbs in the ground ahead the predicted wet weekend weather. Join us outside in the CV garden area @ 6pm today!

Gardening Is On For 4pm Today
7 MayUnless it is raining heavily, we’ll hold more planting activities today at 4pm. Join CVEarthlab gardeners in the garden (located inside the Children’s Play Area, behind 195
Adams St.) to transplant marigolds and other flowers and do light weeding.
There may be drizzle, but that’s a great condition for transplanting and pulling up weeds! Event will last about one hour, from 4pm to 5pm.
If you have seedlings from February’s seed-starting event, you may want to bring fast-growing tomatoes or other plants to “step them up” to larger pots. Leftover organic soil from the seed-starting event is in the garden — bring your own pot — you’ll bring it back home after transplanting the plant.
