No dig method for tomato and corn seedlings

[crimsonqueen]

Hello 

I have bought some tomato and corn seedlings should I plant them out now despite the rain daily (in Melbourne)?

I have also applied the "no dig method" hopefully it works, anyone has experience with this an would like to share?

I would have thought the rain would be good for the young plants.

Hi @crimsonqueen,
I think the cold will be the enemy you have to watch, young plants need warmth. Are they small enough to put a sawn off soft drink bottle over them to act like a mini greenhouse? Also, my experience with the no dig gardening method is it sinks majorly so you'll want to pile it high if you're working to a garden edge.

hello @royq thanks for the response

you're right it's cold these few weeks a few seedlings started to limp

But i've covered them with plastic bottles hopefully they will warm up

the weather here in Melbourne though it's spring its been cold and raining

well there's always a first time hopefully will do better in autumn winter vegies
