You're Ready to Plant



               Use a hand trowel to dig a hole slightly wider
               than your plant's root ball. Tap the plant from
               the  container  and  set  in  the  hole,  slightly
               deeper than it was set in the pot. Replace soil
               over the roots and gently firm it.


               Since some transplants, such as tomatoes and
               cabbage  grow  very  tall,  you  may  need  to

               transplant  deeply.  Perennial  vegetables  need
               special consideration since they'll grow in the same location for many years.
