Thanks for confirming the chart.
Moved out 6 containers (16 oz paper cups) of roma tomatoes to the mini greenhouse today. Creates more room under the lights for the slower ones. Instead of repotting, I just half fill; plant; then slowly add more potting soil around the stems as they grow.
The cups were in sleeves of 50, printed for a coffee house that went bankrupt. I got 4 of the packs for a quarter each at a ‘remainder’ outlet that was itself closing.
Reseeded the red & yellow pear tomatoes yesterday, and today there was already one of each sprouting. Those seeds are TINY! This time, I put the soil mix in the cups, then embedded a fully swelled pet pellet pot in each one, and put the seeds in those.
Today was devoted to planting some bare root stock. We added 2 American (edible) high bush cranberries, 2 Nanking cherries, 2 western sand cherries, a gooseberry, 1 each of 2 varieties of fruiting crabapples, a hazelnut, a black walnut, and a silver maple.
I still have a 2”, 5’ tall winesap apple to get out of the container & into the ground.
The Carmine Jewel bush cherry suddenly turned white today as buds popped open. sudden spell of 2 70+ days in a row can do that. :-)
I have been wanting to get either a columnar apple or peach tree, but all the catalogs were sold out earlier this spring.
So I spent the money on other stuff. Will get one maybe next year.
I took all my stuff outdoors this morning and put them on a table on the shady side of the house. I’ll be working on improving my beds and planting this week.
Hubby’s friend just brought another batch of mulch/compost and is bringing another tomorrow. Its basically old barn stuff lots of straw, hay and cow poop that is very old and can be used up quickly.
I want to get the Amaranth and sunflowers planted. Last year I already had them in, but had to replant because of the cool and damp weather, so this year I have impatiently waited. Surely by now, we’ll have warm weather. At least I hope so.
