“If your plants are spindly,...”

I made that mistake last year - didn't plant enough of the stalk and they “had” gotten spindly before I planted them so I screwed up two ways - letting them get spindly and not planting deep enough.

I won't let these get spindly. My grow lamp is adjustable, so I have it just above the plants - if I had it higher, they would get spindly reaching for the light. I will bury them deeply this time along with they won't be spindly to start with.

I broke my stay in the house until flu is over rule today, as I went to the Walmart outside garden stuff and got 20 plastic pots 5 inches across and 4 inches deep with the water collector in the bottom, so I could transplant into those for a while before plants go into the final large containers. They were 69 cents a piece and much better than the black thin ones with holes in the bottom. I didn't have any pots between 5 ounce cup size (2 1/2 inches across and 3 inches deep) and large containers. I also got more bags of potting soil mix.

I was the ONLY person in the outdoor garden section so I wasn't around anyone, just the one clerk that checked me out and when I got home I washed my hands very well.

Anyone wanting to pry me out of my house will need to bring crowbars, dynamite, and 6 large orderlies. I love my friend, but a week away with a short trip back here isn't going to happen again for a while.

I have had to get out to go to the Doctor’s Office and Pharmacy. Took lots of hand cleaner with me and used it.
