Planting habits, got weird ones?

I finally started getting in the tomato plants I started in itty pots. Yay tomatoes!!

I was watching myself plant them, and was kind of amused at the things I do. For one thing, I am obsessive about wearing gloves, all of my multiple skills involve my hands, I protect them fiercely. About the only thing I do with no gloves is plant. It feels disrespectful to handle them with gloves on. No clue why :D

I talk to them as I plant them. I introduce them to the neighboring plants, tell them what will be on the arbor behind them, and what will be around them. "On your right is Tommy Toe, and in a minute, you'll have Lollipop on your left, both are excellent tasting, so if you cross pollinate with them, it would be a good thing! I think there will be basil at your feet in this area."  
I tell them about the soil, and the hole "Good deep hole for you so I can bury you deep! And a lot of worms right here, they will keep you company!"
I tell them about the others of their type I have grown, or what it said on the ads for them "You were seeded off the best producing tomato I had last year! I am not sure what variety it was, the marker got lost, but I hope you are as productive as your parent!"

When an area is planted, I tell all of them "Grow and be beautiful! Produce well!" and I water them in and tell them I look forward to seeing what they do.

Does it help? Well, no tomatoes have told me to shut up yet :D

What weird things do you do when you plant?

Such a cute post! Yes, I do very similarly. I apologize for moving the plant to a new place and disturbing it. And then I try to reassure him that  he will be okay in his new home. I also love to plant without gloves but do that for everything related to the garden.

Alas, my hands react to so many plants in the garden, that I always wear gloves. I dig a hole for my transplant and fill it with water so there will be a good plume underneath.

I have very limited areas where sunshine and gardens overlap. I need every transplant to count, and if you've never seen the size of a Banana Slug, google it! Since I'm not starting near as many plants as I'd like, I start them in paper pots 3" deep, filled with my own soil mix so they get a strong start in life. It makes for a lot of work and time up front, but I just drop the pot in the hole and the roots grow right through the paper. My friend wanted me to grow some squash for her and she really wanted to put more than one seed in each pot. Only 2 germinated, in the same pot, so they went into their forever home this afternoon after I weeded them a spot. Wish them luck!
