Good afternoon, Red

I hope that things are going good for you and the big move. It can really be nerve wracking to move. I hope that you have good luck selling your house

I got my soil analysis back and went to the local ext office yesterday for a sit down talk with the head of the master gardener program that translated all the technical talk to plain English for me and told me just the right amounts of stuff to add to my soil. The local office is just great to deal with, and near my home,too. My little plot had almost no nitrogen and the PH was way too low. It's a wonder that I was able to grow anything last year.

My seedlings are doing great. I have about 200 maters of four varities, about 20 red chilis, and the other peppers did not sprout. My plan is if they grow as well this year as they have in the past, I will supply all my friends with mater seedlings for their gardens.

A soil test is the first thing I plan on doing!

By the way I am not even going attempt to sell the house here in MS. I will have to make trips back here to maintain the place, it will be a fall back position in case TSHF. I have a good friend who has agreed to stop by the house every once in awhile just as a check and let me know if anything needs looking after.
