hope you had a good rest!

It poured tonight (you don’t know how excited I am to say that! in California, I never got to) so I couldn’t thin out my seedlings in the garden.

I’ve been postponing it because I will find it hard to kill little perfect seedlings. When I thinned the Swiss chard, I ended up transplanting the rejects. but I’m out of room to transplant anything else!

Depending on what it is, eat the thinnings. Baby Swiss chard’s are great stir fried or just in a salad.

I suffer from aversion to thinning too. My solution is that I don’t. Stuff that might need thinning, I plant in Dixie cups or flats made of cardboard qt juice boxes. That way I use them all.
