Well, I pulled the bags from the crawlspace. What a job. I laid them out on the garage floor and started going through them one by one. I pitched doubtful ones and then spritzed as they were more dried out than rotten. I just put each kind in a 4-6" pot, sans dirt. I thought I might give them a spritz again before planting. Many (most) have eyes so I am stuck with having to pot them up. I have to unload the other rolling rack as the first one if full now with seedlings of flowers and vegies. Tomorrow my son will help me haul in the plywood for the table and then I can lower the lights from the ceiling and move some of the larger plants from the racks making room for seed trays that need the light all but on top of them. It's going to get really crowded before it is warm enough to move things to the raised covered beds outside but the worst is really over. Just getting them up the ladder and then gone over initially. Where I have lots of multiples I believe I will pot them and then give them to the botanical garden for their annual plant sale.
From -60 Alaska to +100 Virginia. Wahoo
