...just in case! Things are going so well - I am making lots of progress on transplanting, and the seedlings look really good - that I am not taking any chances. There is a frost warning, but the clouds I now see out my window may reduce that chance (according to my favorite TV weather dude, Greg Fishel). Still, no sense tempting fate! Last night we had....HAIL...yikes - fortunately, it didn't last long, and nothing was damaged.
So - where are we in the process? I've now got at least half a flat (9 pots) of everything we are carrying this year. The seedlings are tiny, but should make good progress - especially if the nights get warm again. Furthest ahead is lettuce - in fact, I am pondering inviting anyone interested to come and purchase it from our driveway (appointment needed, of course).
I think that mid April at the market still seems most likely....but one week sooner could always happen - keep watching the From The Vine page for updates!
Tomorrow I am going to start focusing on the two main varieties people seem to love - Sungold and Cherokee Purple....and transplant those in good quantities. I'd do the same with Mexico Midget, but as usual, germination has been late and spotty....it will once again be in short supply!
