Thank you, thank you !

By way of explanation, we started seeds February 15 and transplanted the tomatoes March 1. Our peppers are about a week behind in size but are doing nicely. Expect transplanting in a couple days.

We use chick grit (the white stuff on the surface) to prevent damping off at the soil line. Some onion sets and radish seeds will be placed out in one of our raised beds this weekend.

Thanks again Tubebender !

Thanks to you both for pics and info. I always forget about the chick grit - I’m going to write that on hubby’s list for the feed store. Thanks again.

“ramping off at the soil line” - what is that?
