Think you could make money on the aloe vera. I don't have any.

What I do have is, MY BIG POTS CAME!. Before the day is over, I'm transplanting those tobacco plants. Then, tomorrow, I'll have lots of transplanting to do and I did get some more potting soil mix but still not sure I have enough. I got 27 large pots for tobacco and tomatoes and T squash and numerous others out there in pots that are too small now for the plant.

greeneyes, I just read what you said about peas and planting them. I started mine in paper cups under the grow lamp. I think all the kinds I have, however, are hybrids for containers, not in the ground kind, or they said “bush” peas - could have some of those. It's a good thing I have the plant tags stuck in the pots.

I have to transplant one more Tromboncino squash out of a cup into a larger container and was waiting until one with tobacco was available when I transplanted the tobacco.

But, I found a problem yesterday with this paper cup with the squash. I saw something on the side of the cup. Another T squash is in that cup and it grew through the side of the cup. It's stuck there as its leaf cannot unfold as it's being held back by that little hole in the cup. I think surgery is called for to get that squash out of that cup. How in the world did it manage to get through the side of the paper cup? I'll get it out today when I transplant the other one in the cup.

All of my tomato plants are now in the big garden. All but the NM chili plants are in the garden, too.

I started peanuts in egg cartons today, with the nitrogen fixing bacteria. I also started some lettuce, chard, and cukes at my daughter's request. I'm attempting to clone some thyme, since I had such good luck with the rosemary.

I've been busy as a one-armed paper-hanger today. Got lots of little tasks taken care of, and some fairly major tasks, too.

I'm taking a little break, and then back out to the garden.

Strong little plant roots. Take the scissors to that paper cup, and free the dear little plant.
