Sowing tatsoi, chijimisai, mustard, collard greens, sugar daddy & lincoln peas, salanova, little gem and Pablo lettuce, bok choy, basil and marigold today. Two 32 cell trays and two 18 cell for 100 plants.
Then it's on to laying out beds and forking in goat manure, a little lime and removing grass/weeds as I go. Then spend the next 2-4 weeks, taking care of new weeds that pop up.
Gotta cut up some more coffee creamer containers to make a couple more 18 cell trays, then I can move on to maters & peppers.
Playing around with my gardening app just to get used to it again. Been a while since I've messed with it. Lot # is fake and leftover from testing. Not ideal and probably not needed for sowing trays, especially being mixed trays. It's meant for market gardeners anyway.
Neither my trays or beds will be all one thing. I'm using a notepad and plant markers. App will work later on as a garden journal/notes while out there. I can just keep adding to the notes section. Gotta figure out how to use this thing I made. LOL
Well my app came in kinda handy since my notepad was a piece of cardboard, lid from 1 gal iced tea bag box and I ran out of room to write. Thought I had two bags of seed start mix but only had one so everything changed because I had to use 72 cell tray. Only 60 cells because I cut into 6 packs a few years ago and two got damaged - so thin. They're round cells which use less seed start mix than square.

Notes - before ----------------------------------------------------- after
"Coffee container" is bottom part of coffee creamer container that I make pots out of - 18 fit in a tray. I'll add in the word 'cell' from up here for the 18 and 32 actual cell trays. Cells all have plant markers but this might help for later on.
Gonna go back out and lay out beds. Need to bring the cordless phone with me and see if it reaches the tunnel. Expecting a call about the job tomorrow. Grabbing more cardboard lids for notes too. I can fit five beds but will only be working on and planting in the three middle ones because I still have drop down sides to work on.
Need a couple more humidity domes. I have 4 heat mats but only two domes. Got a couple of trays I can set on upside down the dome-less trays.
Thinking about how I might start seeds in the tunnel. Shelves/table, bigger heat mats? Grow tent inside the tunnel? More planning, I love planning and I can plan once again, bwa ha ha ha ha.
