Tomato Seedlings, Part 5 and Aubergine Seedlings, Part 2

Today I transplanted four more of the tomato seedlings that I had started from seed on September 23. I put them at the eastern edge of bed #5 (refer map).

Some of the aubergine seeds planted on September 23 also germinated. The seedlings were ready to transplant so I put four of them in a row in the middle of bed #3, parallel to the row of capsicum and aubergine seedlings that my uncle gave me a couple of weeks ago.

I also did some more pruning and other maintenance of the existing tomato plants in bed #2. Yesterday we had a blast of Antarctic air, but fortunately my plants were largely unscathed. I made sure they were securely ties to their posts. I fed some potash dissolved in water to the plants this morning. I've been giving them regular feeds of seaweed solution.

Due to drought conditions, South Australia has been subjected to water restrictions. Fortunately my rainwater tank is reasonably full so I've been able to water my plants whenever they've needed it. The recent rain should help keep top-up the tank.

I did a quick count and 18 of the 27 tomato plants in bed #2 have fruit. The cherry tomato plant growing in the pot also has tiny fruit.
