Cleaning and disinfecting scales.
Letting them dry.
I just counted, nine gallon sized bags of scales so far. Did I mention I am supposed to be scaling back (pun intended)? I do have rather large gardens but they are full and I am "supposed" to cut back. Lucky for me my daughter has very large garden beds and is thrilled when mama comes pulling in the driveway with plants to share. I actually enjoy starting plants more then I should but have for years given most of them away. Win/win!
