It was hot and humid today, so any gardening needed to be kept to a minimum.

I chose to mix up another batch of soil laced with some fertilizer, because I could do the job sitting in the shade.

The tomato, pepper, and pole bean plants seemed to benefit from a similar assist they received a few day ago, so this batch would go on the zucchini, peas, cabbage, and brussels sprouts.

I filled up my mixing tub with potting soil and sprinkled on about 4 teaspoons of the fertilizer pellets. I made sure to thoroughly mix them as evenly as I could in the soil. The idea is to keep the pellets from having direct contact with the plants. (It can damage the plant.) The whole batch got distributed among the containers I skipped last time.

Speaking of the tomato plant benefiting from the earlier boost, it now has three new tomatoes competing with the ripening one. So, to give the newcomers a better chance, I finally picked my first one for the year. I even documented it with a short video!

A very satisfying moment for the Ragtag Garden... the first tomato!
