Finally able to start hardening off some of the seedlings. Started moving some of them outside today. Just cool weather crops that need to be in the ground soon. Lettuce, spinach, etc. Have yet to start kale, cilantro and some other items. Not enough space.
I have to admit it. Peat pots do a much better job than styrofoam cups for seedlings. Although much more expensive. Going to try a different approach. Poke some holes in the side of the styrofoam cups and place them in bins with water for more consistent moisture.
Hoping for a really good paycheck tomorrow. If it comes in as well as I hope for, I'll order 4-5 tons of compost and get wood chips in a few more weeks. I don't know. Maybe not. Need to do the responsible and patient thing and pay more into the mortgage to bring it current. Mostly thinking of filling some containers with compost. Probably better to use the compost from the bin, top it off with potting soil. Yeah, that's a better choice for now.
That would allow me to pay more on the mortgage, order the new tines for the tiller and get a couple of cheap bags of potting soil or compost. Better choice work-wise, also. Let me finish much of the labor that needs to be done. Burning, weeding, tilling. Not to mention work that needs to be done on the car.
