Well, here it is 11:45 p.m. on Friday night and I've been planting all night. Yep, the desktop gardening again. Kenny says I should just move the planting bench inside instead of planting on my desk, but this works and I just wipe up the leftovers.
Tomorrow morning I will get up and start turning over the soil in the boxes outside. I have fresh soil to add to them and the sprinklers to put under the mulch so that I do not have to top water this time. Last week-end the squash all went out to the greenhouse already, it was getting too big for the lights. It will go right into the ground tomorrow. I hope to build the trellis for the sugar peas and the cucumbers in the morning, but we'll see how far I get.
Here are some pictures of the nursery tonight, before many of the babies go to the greenhouse in the a.m. Not sure if some will go directly to the boxes or just stop at the greenhouse, we'll see tomorrow.
As soon as I get some of the nursery cleared out I have more that I want to get planted since some of the seeds didn't take. I have a new system for watering in the nursery that I'm experimenting with. Kenny made me the tray underneath the cups so I can just put water in the tray and let the water seep up through the holes in the bottom of the cups. I'm hoping this works well, too soon to tell.
Will take more pictures tomorrow when I'm done in the garden.
