oops?

I probably should not have planted those two, small, cherry-tomato seedlings together in that one big pot:

The question is: what do I do about it? Is it safe to attempt to transplant one of them into another pot and center the remaining one? Or are their roots already likely entangled and I should just leave it?

I'll know better for next year. Also, this is remarkable growth since last Sunday. The description from the nursery used words like "small" and "compact". Google now tells me this means I can expect a height of 3-5 feet. (Google had not told me what kind of bounty I can expect from this -- all summer, the Internet says, but I mean yield, not timing. I guess I'll find out whether I needed two plants or one would have sufficed.)

I feel a little frivolous posting this when around me the world seems to be burning with hate and racism and abuses by those in power and I can't even really grasp it all yet. :-(

Please be frivolous. I need all the frivolity I can get.

I spent this morning installing a drip watering system in our tomato bed. The previous owner of our house left some tubing and some fittings, and when we were in Jerusalem before the plague, I saw it deployed in Sacher Park.

So now our tomato bed looks like sacher park and I’m planning on continuing to our allium beds (garlic, leeks, and onions), the beans ‘n greens bed, and the asparagus bed, which is struggling for nutrients.

Ah, Sacher Park. The first time I heard that name, when I was living in Jerusalem, it was from a fellow American, and so I thought the name of the place was "Soccer Park". :-)

I didn't live that close to the park, but I do think I managed to go there at least once. Good luck with your watering system!
