Well, I have been a little slow on blogging for the past few days, I threw my back out again and find that getting in and out of the computer chair was painful and would have to be delayed. I am about cured (again) so here we go.
Some of the plants I started on various days were ready to be transplanted to individual cells, and I moved 18 of the marigolds. Unfortunately, I have a couple of bags of really crappy potting soil, full of small stones, twigs, etc, and I really do not like the stuff. It is labeled “Hyponex” and I will be very careful not to buy any more. I try to get “Shultz”, which is the best I have found in the past, do not know why I didn’t get it the last time I bought some, but – live and learn.
Anyway, I am enclosing pictures of the plants ready to be moved, some that are not ready to be moved, and one of the nine-packs with the transplants in it. I will keep the transplants in a dark spot in my cellar for 24 hours and then move them under the lights. Please note the labels in the transplant pack – I cannot emphasize enough how important to accurately label EVERYTHING! If you don’t you will have a lot of grief when you put stuff in the garden, flower beds, whatever and don’t know how tall it is going to get. Labels take care of that problem. It is snowing again, so I do not think I will be moving anything outdoors (today, at least).
“Wiseacre” tells me that when I start including pictures that hopefully I will as good at photography as my sister Pat. Sorry about that – ain’t going to happen. I do what I can. I doubt Pat wants to come over every few days and take plant pictures for me.
