kiev red.
planted everything. Including red Kiev, black sea man, lucky tiger. 2nd zima. Phew. Tmrw: transplant lemon drops.

we have 38 lemon drops. Thinking of doubling them up in cell packs. That means 24 cells. But keep 4-6 for us. So maybe 30 plants for cells. Divide by 4 = 8 roughly cell packs.

split the lemon drops today. Pit 2 to a cell, and 1 pot for us. Made 5 cell packs. Got 4 cell packs left over. Got it done by 8:30 and put them under lights. Got to start making paper boxes soon!

tomatoes are beginning to sprout! no leaves yet. put them under the lights.

going to grow 13/14 tomatoes.

Warm day again plus 14 degrees. today i put the hose in the water barrel. the handle on it is gone. i emptied a lot of pots of dirt and made 2 garden beds. the main one and the one in the perennial bed. cut down the elm tree trying to make a third bed. need to plug up the wholes around it. made a start today. did a lot of clean up. planted the kiwi berry in the sunflower corner.

we figured out the calla problem. they are sprouting now, a whole month early. so we got to put them in the fridge.

tmrw: plant black beauty, lucid gem, dark Galaxy again. plant variegated piquins.

put calla bulbs in fridge last night wrapped in paper towel and bags. today some of my tomatoes dont look good. atomic grape are flattened maybe too much water. we only have 25 dark galaxy. they look healthy though. moved the ailing plants to under bathroom lights. it might be stronger.

planting tomatoes today.

pink tiger, atomic grape lucid gem, black beauty, dark galaxy. maybe going to plant more Berkeley Tie dye? i think we have enough cosmic eclipse.

plants: black trifele, yellow cherry, blondkopchen and black prince all doing really well. blush tiger is doing okay. huge damping off problem. pink tiger damped off, blueberry damped off a bit but still lots of plants. i think atomic grape damped off a bit. have at least 30 plants but doing more.

we think the above desk plants were such a failure because of the lack of air movement. next time consider a fan. the bathroom plants are all perfect - except the pepper plants we keep over watering. but the tomatoes look amazing.

I estimate we have 50 each of cosmic eclipse and B tie dye, so i will plant more. Planted the tomatoes. Black beauty - with the seed bag " black beauty ?". Pink tiger, cosmic eclipse, lucid gem, b tie dye, atomic grape, dark galaxy. Tmrw: moving coleus out of window, moving toms in. Moving some plants downstairs from citrus shelf. Toms have 3rd leaves coming out. Almost time to split!

2nd batch toms spruting today! got to put under lights asap

planted: purple peach ghost, variegated piquin peppers.
