You are always so generous with praise and I thank you humbly. In looking at the salad bar this afternoon, it is striking how much it has grown since yesterday and more of the lettuces are emerging.

Here are my latest photos of the plants I've started from seed. It really amazes me how big a plant you can grow in one of those little newspaper pots. We will begin transplanting to the garden tomorrow as the wind was 20 mph earlier today.

I just want to lay down and cry when I see photos like yours. The rain and gloomy skies have me so depressed that I don’t want to get out of bed in the mornings. My wife transplanted Gem Marigolds to 5 flats of 6 packs this afternoon. (350 plants) We’ll have to start putting flats onto the cold frame as the little greenhouse benches are full already.
