Hey Meredith, sorry for the late reply on this. I wanted to get back to you about the Saturday plans before the weekend slips away. I think the picnic idea at Maplewood Park is still the best option, especially with the weather looking decent so far. A few of us are planning to get there around eleven thirty to snag one of the tables near the oak tree line, the one just past the small playground. We can set up the coolers on the grass and throw a couple of blankets down.
For food, I was thinking we keep it simple. I am going to bring a big container of that lemon herb pasta salad and maybe a batch of brownies. Kevin said he would handle sandwich supplies and some cut fruit. If you want to bring something easy, maybe a bag of chips and a bottle of iced tea. Nothing fancy. Also, I checked with Dana and she is bringing her cornhole boards, so we can have a little tournament after lunch if people are up for it.
One more thing, parking near the north entrance fills up fast on Saturdays because of the farmers market, so plan to use the east lot by the tennis courts. It is a longer walk but way less stressful. Let me know if that timing works for you. Should be a good group, I think we have around nine people confirmed so far.

Hey Paul, thanks for the message about the garden. To answer your question about when to transplant the cherry tomatoes, I would say the second week of June is usually a safe bet around here, especially if overnight temperatures have been staying above fifty degrees for at least five consecutive days. Before you move them, I recommend setting the seedlings outside for a few hours each afternoon over the course of a week so they can adjust to the wind and direct sun. That step makes a huge difference. Also, when you dig the planting holes, mix in a couple handfuls of compost and a small spoonful of crushed eggshells. That helps with calcium and reduces the chance of blossom end rot later in the season. Space the plants about two and a half feet apart so air can move through once they start getting bushy. I usually put a simple stake in at the same time I plant, right next to the main stem, and tie it loosely with soft twine. That way you are not disturbing the roots later.
One thing to keep an eye on is the lower leaves. If they start touching the soil, trim them off so moisture and soil do not splash up and cause issues. For watering, deep soakings every three days work better than a light sprinkle every morning. Let me know how the first week goes after transplanting, I am curious which variety you ended up going with.
REWARD EXPIRING TOMORROW
