Tomato planting time

We had a wild morning at the garden today, prepping bed and setting out tomato transplants.

After broadforking, weeding and fertilizing two beds, we had almost planted twelve plants into the first when when a downpour interrupted out efforts and sent us dashing to the shed for shelter. When it turned into a thunderstorm with lightening we partially closed the door for a few minutes. After 15 minutes or so, it let up and we planting the first bed. But since the soil was now too wet for working we will have to wait a few days to plant the rest of the plants.

The rain is encouraging after the very dry spring conditions a year ago, so we are grateful.
