Also couldn't help out at friends greenhouse..........he's off to late start....and I'm way behind on spring clean up, several huge pines came down in the fields and front yard.

    Still can't stick my finger in the dirt yet, but I screened off some soil mix through 1/4" poultry netting and got started on peppers (3 types), tomatoes (6 types) and broccoli/cabbages (3 types each). I mark off varieties in the flats using yarn scraps. Didn't have the nice labels so cut up a milk jug and made those, labeled with sharpie. They are geminating next to the woodstove.

    Also made up a watering can from another gallon milk jug, drilled holes from inside cap. Going to make another cap with smaller holes but this one works OK, it and the labels were "free"

    Good to hear all is well Mad T!

    Me and Mrs S are a bit lazy this year for whatever reason. Plants that we normally start from seed, we haven't yet. So we'll probably buy some seedlings if we find a good deal.
