Nothing... Just looked.

If we get some rain, should get some decent beets.

Green beans are most definitely up. Should be a lot more, I sowed 1/2 lb for 100 feet, that's a heavy sow. But still I see some skips. It is what it is, I'm rolling with it.

The Bonnie seedlings are all the same here too... Our local nursery has 4 packs of very NICE and healthy plants for 2.79 and with SR discount, I get them for 2.49 or something like that. I wanted to grow and sell some this year but was not set up for it. Next year I hope to have some to sell too... at least pay for my seed and all....

I found some squash and some green bean seedlings poking through this evening. Put some corn in a small square, some cucumbers and some cantaloupe in too. Some of my seed is 2020 and it is coming through decent it looks like. Some is alot older... waiting to see if it germinates.
Hopefully the potatoes will be coming through in the next week. We are going to be gone for a couple days so I hope to come back to a whole bunch of stuff.... Won't get the electric netting up before I go so I sure hope that the animals don't do much damage while we are gone up north for estate business and to get the backhoe that DS bought. Going to cost a small fortune to bring it all home with the fuel prices.

You're busy for sure, sounds like fun actually.

My biggest thing to selling seedlings was finding pots at a reasonable price. But I had a look at one of those cups it's just a single hole in the bottom center. I could do that easily, with a drill and bit. If I could find unwaxed paper cups that would be the cats meow. Plant the whole thing, cup and all.

The little garden cart is working well. Water is available across the parking lot at the church main building. I have a set of empty gallon jugs and the boxes they came in. I just tote the cart there, fill up, walk back and water.

12 years of no gardening. I am older and out of shape. The muscles are complaining this morning.
