I took every small pot out of the greenhouse and put them on a table in the roofed deck and started filling up large black gardeners pots with potting soil mix. I got 11 planted and there are 11 left to plant. The outside humidity is 65% and I had sweat running down my face and my back said stop, so I did. I left the newly potted ones on the roofed deck so if it rained, their potting soil wouldn’t turn to mush with them swimming in it. I did water them on the deck after transplanting.

I can’t transplant baby carrot plants worth diddly, they are too fragile. They need to be direct planted in the pot where they are to live. I’ve got a ten gallon grow bag with large surface in the net room filled with potting soil mix from last year, so will plant carrot seed in that and stick in a few Jobe’s veggie spikes for new plant food. I have plenty of baby carrot seed. I’ll do that tomorrow as I am done for the day out there.

I’ve got to weed one of my raised beds so I can plant baby carrots there. That’s this afternoon’s project just as soon as hubby gets done with his outside projects in a little while. I’m sorting through all my direct seed stuff for summer to make a final decision on what exactly I’m going to be planting out and hopefully saving seed from.

Let’s cross our fingers this all works out.
