October is the 
busiest time of the year for me at work, so the poor old garden doesn't get the attention it needs in spring. Despite that, on the weekend (between work trips) I bought some tomato seedlings from 
Cygnet Market and planted them. I chose some 'cold resistant' varieties and planted a couple in the greenhouse and some outside in the raised garden beds. 
Last year I found buying seedlings a much better approach for me than 
starting them from seed in the house in August. Maybe one day I'll get to do that again. The local wisdom says that tomato plants can go in 'after show day' (meaning the 
Hobart Show), but based on how cool it is at our place this evening, I'm wondering if where I live, the rule should be after the 
Huon Show day.
