Plants and Wind

I start all my plants from seeds, so I had over 120 seedlings that needed to be repotted yesterday, awaiting the arrival of warmer temps so they can sit outside. Normally I set up the saw horses, make a table and play with the dirt and pots outside, but the wind had my garbage cans parallel to the ground yesterday and flapping like a flag. No way was I taking my precious new seedlings out there. So I set up a gardening station in my office, facing the large sliding glass doors. It worked, all my seedlings are now in plantable pots, growing and getting ready to go outside. My seedling trays are going to be set up again for another round of tomatoes and other delectable choices.  That is todays project.

The cleanup was not nearly as bad as I thought it would be. As much cleaning and scrubbing as I do, I wasn’t sure about dry potting mix and whether it would clog the vaccuum. Fortunately there was no problem. Although as my husband pointed out, we may want to clean out the brushes and insides before I suck up something wet.
