My ‘Sabre’ tomato seedlings are doing great! Well, they’re no longer babies! It’s nearly time to re-pot into all the saved Cottage Cheese containers you recommended. Beau poked drainage holes (hot nail; ‘like but-ah’) in them all for me.

I will have 32 plants ready to go late May, though I do plan on sharing some. I want only 24 tomato plants this season, tops. Looking in the Pantry, I am behind on V-8, but a head on Salsa. We had SO many Peaches last year, that I made Peach Salas, too. ;)

I started my Zukes and Cukes and some more Marigold (Signet-type) for edging the beds. I started ‘Honeynut’ and ‘Moregold’ keeping squashes for Beau to plant and ignore, LOL!

My Dahlias are coming along int he greenhouse - I start them in pots as soon as I find the tubers in the stores.

Things are cooking along. Please remind me of the OPTIMISM I am feeling this Spring when it’s Fall and I’m cranky and canning the last tomato! :)
