Wow, Karen and others--you actually can work from 9 to 5:30!! That's a LOT of hours of physical labor. I find that I can do about 4-5 hours straight and then I have to limp inside to dry out/warm up. You guys are amazing.
I've spent the past three days madly potting up my UL seedlings. (There are also some WS seedlings that are still in my jugs, but at least I eye-balled them and know what I have.) The UL seedlings aren't quite ready to go in the ground--our last frost-date is May 25--so I stuck them into some little plastic greenhouses to harden off.
My wintersowing results weren't as good this year, either. I set out about 60 jugs. So many jugs just stayed too damp (or something) and seeds didn't germinate--got 1-2 seedlings in them. But I did have lots of WS Calendula "Citrus Cocktail" and after this forum's advice, I planted the seedlings out two weeks ago and they're doing just fine!
Funny how Mother Nature can keep us guessing. Or at least me.
