By the time Bob and I were through with the Seed Savers catalogue, we had ordered 12 varieties of tomatoes and that was just the beginning. The seeds arrived a few days ago, and it was feeling like spring. So I picked up potting soil on the way over to Suzy’s, and brought along a bag of worm castings (we call it pixie dust and sprinkle it on the flats when they’re planted).
Such a nice set-up! It’s a passive solar greenhouse in the background.
We filled the flats with potting mixture, and put in the seeds.
We put up the shelves, and filled them with newly planted flats. Each flat has 66 plugs, and this side has 11 flats so you’re looking at 700+ little plants-to-be.
Suzy is stringing heating wire under the flats, because it’s still chilly at night.
Three days later, Suzy said You should come over and look: the greenhouse is stuffed.
And it was.
