Well, this weekend was busy with moving the sprightly seedlings from their tiny plugs to their 4" pots! I had the starting of a meltdown when I went to retrieve the seedlings on Friday night to find that they were bone dry (I forgot to water them that morning...one of the dangers of trying to do too many things at one time) and about 1/8 of them looked like they were going to croak. I wanted to cry...all those weeks nurturing them everyday so we could feed people and in one day they almost perished. Of course, I then overwatered them...ugh. However, given that it has been pretty warm around the house, this didn't hurt them any. Overall I lost about 10 plants and I still have oodles growing. Phew!
Here are some of them. I think they are beautiful!
Bell peppers, looking so healthy.
Beans (which apparently should not start from seed but look how great they are growing...)
And broccoli...my first ever (last year it didn't work)
These pics were taken on the front porch...they were resting in their new pots here and then today they went outside for the first time and enjoyed a warm shady spot in the afternooon. Sprinkle just finished making me my third raised garden bed at home and some of these seedlings will be making their way there soon--the next upgrade.
I signed my contract for the 1/8 acre plot, which I mentioned in an earlier post. For clarity-sake, the 1/8 acre plot will be referred to as "A garden". "B garden" will be at my friend's house and "C garden" is here at home. With three locations soon to be on the go, we're off to a great start.
