rightly, I have 56 at 10:57 am. I hope the sun stays out so the potting soil in fabric pots dries out so I can plant some of the 80 onion bulbs I have. I'll try to plant them tomorrow after sun today helps dry them out. Yesterday's sun was the first day of sun we have had in a while, as you know.

Johnny, yesterday I transplanted the tobacco plants, put one in each larger pot. I wonder about these as their roots aren't very long. The leaves look nice but they are pretty much flat on the surface of the soil, no growth upward. I hope this transplanting gets them going more than they are.

There is still not one seedling up that was planted in that Jiffy seed starter. In the other seed starter, I'm already at the point I need to transplant several kinds of peas and broccoli, the corn is up in two cups, and other plants. But, I had four cups of corn in that Jiffy and I need those plants and there is nothing there.

I checked Home Depot, Lowes, and Walmart on the web and the only seed starter any of them had is the Jiffy seed planter things. Lowes does have Miracle Gro seed starter but customer comments says the same thing about that - the starter holds no water and the seeds don't sprout. Today, I'm ordering the kind I had before and will start over with new seeds of the type I have in those Jiffy cups.

That's about right on the tobacco. It stays flat for quite a while, and then it suddenly starts growing up. They sound fine.
