Placing Seeds

So... the Cherokee Purple tomatoes doesn't look promising. The Red Currant, Pineapple and Romas have pretty much all sprouted. The Super 100's were in a coating and are taking a bit longer, maybe.

We did start what we're referring to as the mystery seeds. My daughter has a habit of keeping seeds in order to plant and she doesn't label them. Hmpf! Well those sprouted and were in danger of lifting the lid within a week!! Looks to be a squash of some sort. In about 75-80 days we'll probably know.

This last weekend we repotted the peat pots into 4" pots and placed them in the cold frame on the back porch and brought in some of the others to set over the heat pad. MAGIC!

On the other front - our church is having a Green Fair and my wife and I are participating. She'll be drumming up volunteers for the community plot and I'll be giving a demo on the compost bin by constructing a second one for the community plot. Others will be showing how to make your own reusable bags, mindful eating, productive landscapes (I've been placed as a resource there too, thanks Jeanette! ;), hopefully communicating which plants are started in the church greenhouse, and getting people to sign-up for a grounds work-a-nanny day. Should be fun.
