22/04/09 Planting Tomatoes and Peppers

Have held of with this as we have still been having some chilly nights (we are over 600m above sea level which makes a difference to night time temperatures) but is good to be getting them in now.

Have bought the plants from a local nursery as it is so much easier- the tomatoes were 1 Euro for the 10, and the Italiano peppers 1 Euro for 15, and they are sturdy looking plants.

I prefer the Italiano peppers as I feel they are more convenient to stuff (check the recipe section).
