start toms. Watch out for desk damp: 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.

apr

start flowers: amaranth, cosmos, marigold, calendula. Start squash: kogiku, honeynut, tan acorn.

Idea: put up a sign "seedlings" for outside. look up signage laws.
plant peppers on weekly basis to delay spider mites. they seem to go for older plants, the newer plants have no signs and are healthy. step up the spider mite game. make rosemary spray oil. use new soil
Last Frost Date: May 4-11
Grow lettuce in black pots on brick wall, until June, then put basil in.
Grow callas by front fence, until June, when squash plants get big.
