I am now a total convert to planting seeds rather than trying to keep seedlings alive in the garage. The seeds I planted outside totally outstripped the seedlings started in the garage for health and robustness. Will actually surpass them. Beans, brocs, carrots and lettuce all doing well. Planted a second swath of squash just to see how well it does in our length summer. Potatoes in raised beds are going nuts as are the peas.
I planted one tomato (my annual effort) in regular pot then upended a round tri-stake plant thingy (drat, can't think what to call it) so the circular wire top is sitting in the port and the three prongs usually in the earth are on top. Then I wrapped some semi-clear poly around it. A little greenhouse. and son of a gun it seems to be working. The plant was struggling and now it is growing modestly and has two blooms on it. I need to fertilize it soon.
Went into the pond to clean out algae and trim up water plants. Put on my bathing suit. The fish swam to me as they are terribly curious creatures. It was fun as the water is very warm now.
