those carrots are truly babies right now. That was my fault for thinking I could grow them from seed in the house and transplant. They don't transplant worth diddly so I started over in those grow bags with seeds.

I've been saving cardboard toilet paper tubes to try with carrots. My seed tape carrots aren't getting any bigger. The tops are still dinky..

I was hauling brush today, and forgot to open the greenhouse door when the sun broke out through the clouds. Oops, it was about 104 in there. The impatiens didn't look happy at all.

I have oneof those dual fans with a thermostat I need to stick in front of the end where the vent window opens out, so that it starts blowing air around in there when I forget.

I bought some of those yellow sticky tape traps. I sure catch a lot of gnats, flies, and moths on them. I saw the first two shield bugs yesterday..so now I've seen snails, sow bugs, flea beetles, ants, thrips, leaf hoppers, and two shield bugs. Go away bugs.

I’ve been saving those tubes, too. How would you use those for carrot seed exactly? That sounds interesting. I’m very disappointed in my carrot growing.

I didn’t know carrots came on a tape (or did you do that yourself?). Since I got no lettuce from the tape I have, I wouldn’t try it for carrots if you buy it that way.

Every one of the smallest pots you see in those photos has a plant or plants that must go in larger pots soon.
