Neighbor Sherry Skewis has a gorgeous Japanese maple named Kelly, after her daughter. There was a seedling growing underneath, and she asked me to come get it, and grow it.
I think I have 3 or 4 of these seedlings growing in the greenhouse by now. Anyway, that'll be a beautiful tree.
I collected some acorns last fall.
Something has happened to them.
😲
Oak trees!
San Marzano into pots.
Planting lettuce starts indoors
Had too many lettuce starts; quite a few already planted outdoors. So I planted these in the indoor bed. We'll see how they do.
Listed them for sale Saturday evening. Friday morning had people lined up to buy them; well a few people lined up to buy them.
So them Saturday morning, turns out I sold them to friends from high school.
Sold them for $25 each; I'll bet we could have gotten $30 out of them in this year's market, but I'm content with what we got.
I had originally gotten 12, rather than the six that we needed, with the intention that I'd sell six to pay for the 12 and their first few months of supplies. And it worked perfectly. I love it when a plan comes together.
(These are the ones we kept.)
Admittedly, they are under a thermal cover, and pretty well protected, but they are Outdoors 3 weeks early.
Each one got about a cup worth of worms and worm castings from the worm bed, some 555 organic, and some vitamin B1 transplant solution.
Also up potted a fair number of peppers, both mini bell peppers and full size bell peppers.
First day watering the garden.
It's only been about four or five days since it last rained, but the garden is full of little bitty seedling plants with no roots. So I watered the garden.
