Prayers for Mark.
Slight frustration here. [sigh]
March was wonderful, lots of sun, nice & warm. Even had a week+ in the 80's! Now it is highs in the 40's and 50's, and night time lows just above frost.
I have been preparing the garden raised beds by weeding, adding sulfur, adding mushroom compost, and adding "water crystals" to cut down on the water bill.
The seeds I started in the greenhouse box are mostly doing well. Most are 5" to 6" high. Except the sweet peppers. Those are 1" or less. Maybe they just take longer to sprout.

Am near Elgin, IL not far at all.
Started a Bay tree in a container last week. My new raised beds are really appreciating the rain. Thinned out my tomato seedings, had two or 3 in each large cell. Seems like a heck of a waste. Wanted to make sure I had enough though.
Peppers are coming along a bit slower, but will likely thin them next week.

Thank you for your prayers. Hopefully, it will warm up again so you can get those beautiful little plants in the ground. Let us know how the water crystals work out. I received a bunch of those big gel things packed around some of the fruit trees I ordered. They stayed wet for what seemed like forever.
