The Governor is giving away mushroom compost? Wow! What a great place to live. ;)
I filled six large containers with potting soil mix and planted six different tomatoes that were in small pots. I’ve said I’m not happy with the four already in large containers out there because they don’t look robust - I think the cold hurt those even though I covered them. I have them marked as to which ones they are, four different kinds, but since they don’t look great to me, I started those four kinds again, plus two more kinds and have another kind under the grow lamp to put in a larger container than the little cup.
So, the tomatoes started over or new ones are:
4th of July - planted 2, each in own pot
Better Boy
Cosmonaut Volkoy
Sweet Million
Mortgage Lifter
Cherry Punch (just taken out of paper cup and put in small containers) There are four of these, and will keep the four going, each in a smaller pot in case some die before going in large final pot.
I buried most of the tomato plant when I transplanted into the big pots.
One strawberry is turning red. Is one enough to make preserves? :o)

I completely forgot that I had this commercial style dust collector sitting in the corner. It's barely been used. It has a 1 hp motor and a squirrel cage type fan.
I did try it on a bag of leaves, see photo, and it does ok, but really takes 2 passes to do a good job.
I need to figure out a mod for it so that it does a good job on one pass.
