Has it really been three weeks since I last posted here?
It's truly amazing how time flies!
The early seedlings are growing like crazy and I have veggies that need to be started, so this week I'm concentrating on sorting them all out and up-potting.
I lost several varieties of poppies and some of the pre-sprouted seeds due to wild temperature fluctuations in the SpringHouse, so I need to sow some replacements. I may direct sow some tomorrow since the weatherman is hinting that we may get some much-needed rain in the afternoon.
Here's a few pictures of the wildly overgrown seedlings that are waiting to be thinned, some *salad* trays, and some up-potted seedlings awaiting the last frost.

looks like it's about ready to eat, doesn't it? ;-)
I'm happy with progress so far, but I really need to plant some of these out; I'm running out of room:-)
I up-potted about three dozen plants today, and started soaking seeds for these veggies and herbs:
| Uncle Charlie's Giant Pear Tomato |
| Anna Russian Tomato |
| Tigarella Tomato |
| Pineapple Tomato |
| Black Krim Tomato |
| Coustralee Tomato |
| Red Brandywine Tomato |
| Amana Orange Tomato |
| Orange Oxheart Tomato |
| Yeome Basil |
| My Sweet Peppers |
| Garlic Chives |
| Aconcagua Pepper |
Frost is forecasted for Thursday night.
