First new bed done and ready for planting some of my millions of babies! Too bad it is going freeze tonight. Also you can see second bed in background that I am working on.

It's a start. You'll be able to fit quite a few babies in there.

Nice job.

We had a light frost last night, and have a frost warning for tonight, too. So cold! Hi today was 56°. My tender plants are sleeping in the garage again. Seems like it'll be fall before I can plant stuff.

Finally all the cold is supposed to be gone! I got some minor frost damage despite covering my babies.

Jennifer - what an impressive display of wintersowing. Hurray!

Did you recently remove the upper parts of the milkjugs or do you not use them in the germination process? I noticed that even your newly sprouted seeds are uncovered.

We had 5 days of warm very sunny weather two weeks ago. Since my jugs are SW facing against brick it got very hot. I cut the tops off then. My sprouting was done by then. It got cold so growth has been at a standstill. I am expecting growth to really pick up now. Bachelor buttons, calendula, and cosmos will be planted out in the next few days. They are huge!

I am feeling stressed at how much I have to do. I hate having to go to work. Well today I thought I would feel better if I took some therapy to work! Before:

Cold steady rain day today. I wanted to plant out, but instead I'm preforming root surgery under cover. Hilarious! I still have containers left that really need to be done. Whistling

I am slowly getting things planted out...I have way to many and the task will likely take all summer.I have a bunch I sorted out today to plant tomorrow.
If you would have a mind at peace, a heart that cannot harden, go find a door that opens wide upon a lovely garden.

Rolling on the floor laughing Me, too, but the pile-up on the deck is slowly diminishing. I do, however, have seeds that I still need to start. Hilarious! Whistling
