Up Planting

I DID go outside. I've been trying to get to this for a WEEK. 

I have heard one should wash pots before reusing them and not to reuse the potting soil....

I did 3 loads.

I've got all these ready to up plant seedlings. I need more...but this will keep me busy for now. 

I up planted 46 plants...and have 288 to go. If I run out of pots, I'll have Michael drill a hole in solo cups and use them again.  I over planted as I was using old seeds and wasn't sure of the germination, I hope to have grands helping and this way there are plenty if some are handled roughly, and I always lose some before they get into the ground in June. I planted a whole packet of marigold seeds and have only 2 teeny plants.  I have about 150 tomato plants - they ALL germinated. 

It was fantastic to be out in the greenhouse. It was 70* - lovely. I need to finish emptying the greenhouse, but I don't need a lot of the garden ware until I plant the garden. I guess I COULD move it out there now.  I was happy to see the spinach I started in the greenhouse dirt is coming up. The lettuce isn't.  I am happy to see a something growing while I wait for big enough tomatoes to plant in here or warm enough soil to plant in the garden beds. LOL Our last frost date is May 30th...but I wonder if they changed that due to the warm spring? 

The shelves are filling up.  I transplanted Mammoth Sunflowers, celery, Beefsteak tomatoes, Brussel Sprouts and 2 Marigolds. The 4 trays on the bottom shelf still need to be potted and that will fill the shelves up. 

I think it's about time to pull all the basil and start over. It's getting spindly and appears to be planning to take over the grow room - er family room. 

I find my shoulders and back are sore this evening. I used to tell myself last year that sitting in the hot tub after a day of yard work/gardening would make it all better...and so I'm off to test that theory.
