BUY things. Gosh, I’m sure that’ll just be torture.

OK, I was afraid I was misreading the instructions on the algoflash. I’m kind of duuuurrrrr slow that way.

I’m awaiting the day the kids are old enough to HELP me in the garden. My 2yr old LOVES to help pick strawberries. She even picks just the red ones. She just tramples all the plants to get at them LOL. It’s like hunting Easter eggs for her. She shrieks ‘stwabewwy!’ when she spots one.

I haven’t been garden shopping but once so far this year. No time. Everything I’ve planted so far has been mailorder. Most of that started from seed. No way I could have afforded to plant 200+ tomatoes and 200+ peppers if I’d paid garden shop prices for them.

I will say the tomato plants from Jung-seed are doing splendidly so far. Ditto the ‘yummy’ and ‘zavory’ peppers. I’ve already got my mouth set waiting for those to get ready.

I’m glad to hear you’re having good germination. I had a cranky customer yesterday who tried those exact same two varieties and claims he didn’t get ANY germination from either variety. (He’s been growing for THIRTY YEARS. Yeah? Me, too...and I screw up once in a while too, LOL!)

Okaaaaay...so I refunded his money, but something in the back of my mind tells me that he has two flats of those peppers athome coming along perfectly. *Rolleyes*

Eh. It’s only a few bucks. And if someone feels they can ‘get one over on the man’ via some free peppers, so be it. *SHRUG*
