Had to transplant from small cups into larger containers today and did that outside and it was 80% humidity and I got really hot and sweaty. So much, had to take shower and wash hair when came in.

Adding those pots to the outside, rightly, makes about 90 pots and some of those I just transplanted have more than one plant in a pot and will need splitting into their own larger pot but I didn't have any larger pots for those plants but they had to get out of those 5 oz. cups. The larger ones I have left are for seven kinds of tomatoes under the grow lamp and I need more of those larger kinds for even those tomatoes.

There are other plants than tomatoes under the grow lamp and I just estimated how many more plants there would need pots and it's about 21 more plants other than tomatoes that will need pots. So, there will be more than 100 pots out there, maybe 130, for this whole group of present plants. I have certain sweet pepper seeds coming and want two of those planted. Then, I'm just reminded by Johnny about Cilantro, so toss that in.

Just thought about looking at the fingerling potatoes I put in a paper bag in the pantry to see if the eyes would produce growth and yes, I see some eyes with tiny bits of growth coming out. I haven't had those in there long, as in days not weeks, so maybe they will all do their thing and then go in a potato big bag from that Mega Garden place which I have.

Greeneyes, if I were you, I would call that place to find out where your bags are at this point.

Johnny, I've got 9 tobacco plants in 5 pots and none of the pots are big enough - have to get larger pots for all 9 plants very soon.

Don't worry about transplanting tobacco. It seems to enjoy it. The rebel tobacco plant got transplanted about 6 times.

Speaking of the rebel tobacco plant, here is a recent photo:

What a difference in climate. Our lettuce seeds have sprouted and the seedlings are about an inch and a quarter tall. Two of our tomato seeds have sprouted. All of these are still in the kitchen, since we’re still not much above, or even reliably above freezing at night here in Massachusetts.
