Working outside this afternoon

Got a gorgeous sun break and taking full advantage of it. Re-potting some squash, dill and the last of the 'maters. I start in 2" containers or flats and move to larger ones as they develop. Tomatoes and Squash plants can form additional roots from the fuzzy hairs on their stem so when I re-pot, I clip off the lower branches and sink the stem deeper and deeper into the dirt. Gives them a nice running start when they finally get in the soil. Got some tobacco seed in the mail a few days ago and going to be germinating that now that the inside potting shelves are free. Also setting the new sewing machine up in the DaveCave(tm). Lulu has been using it for art projects and her son sleeps there when he comes out to visit. Just in for a bio-break and to check email -- back to work for this kid... Posted by DaveH at May 16, 2013 2:55 PM
