I wish I could just sit back and cyber garden Rolling on the floor laughing

We have non-stop gardening duties here Blinking The summer weeds have gotten zapped by the cold spells we had but the winter weeds are starting to get into full swing. I just got all my sales plants reorganized; I keep them in alphabetical order and as I divided for orders I put them alphabetically, however, since I shipped at different times I had about 5 different alphabets going on Rolling my eyes.

I am in the process of getting the hybridizing area replanted and boy did I have wayyyyyy to many plants. I had to downsize from about 300 to around 180 or a little more. And that's not counting the 2013s I plan to keep to use, hopefully that won't be too many; that is still wayyyyy too much Hilarious! I am going to have to re-re-evaluate my keepers AGAIN Sticking tongue out Last year I had 3 across in each row of the beds and I have found that the fast growth a lot of the plants have that the middle plant gets shaded and crowded too much that several were spindly and struggling. So this year I am only doing 2 across and more space between the rows.

After that then I have to get the seedlings I kept from this past season that are potted up transplanted in the new bed I build back in September. I was planning on planting them then but didn't get to it.

We are hosting the Region 12 spring meeting in May 2014 so I'm sure once I get all of the above done we will be getting things done around the garden. Most of the chores are not mine other than weeding, weeding, and more weeding ( around here that's weekly) since this is James Hall's garden, but I'm sure he will find things for us to help with Smiling
