Well, I've now got quite a lot of seedlings going under the lights.  Let's see if I can remember...

• 4 six-packs of Romaine
• 4 six-packs of Coleus
• 3 six-packs of Basil
• 12-pack of large Zinnias
• 15 Tomatoes
• 11 Kale
• 17 Rudbeckia
• 4 bigger, older Coleus

The Romaine are starting to show, so that's good.  The Basil have all germinated, as have the Zinnias.  The Tomatoes actually look better than they did a week ago.  I left everything along for nearly 4 days, and shit got dried out.  It's bad up there. 

Oh!  and wtf, the Basil has this green mold on the top of the soil.  Only the Basil.  Everything else looks good.  And it was all done with the same soil.  Hmm.  

Right now I am soaking the tomatoes, which is a slow process.  Things are looking better.  

I cannot start anything else anytime soon.  I don't have containers and I don't have space.  I could rotate things, right, I could switch things out under the lights daily.  But all the small six packs are being used.  I even found another one, so now I have 11.  I guess that the Basil will be the next thing to get potted up into larger containers (which I totally have).  

The next thing to plant is the Morning Glory, and those are going directly in the containers.  That's the 30" containers.  So I need to buy large amounts of potting mix.  And 2 of the 3 are filled with sad little liriope starts, so I will need to move those, or plant them, or whatever.  I could do that this weekend.  It's going to be warm on Sunday.  

And where am I going to put these containers?  I was thinking I would put them in the window in the living room.  I guess I could bring them upstairs... but that sounds like a lot of work that I don't want to do.  

I've got a nice collection of seeds I saved from last year and I want to grow those as a fun experiment, so I think I will do one container with just those, and the other two with the new seeds.  I'm not gonna mess with any trellis or anything, I'm hoping that between now and when they go outside (about 7 weeks).  

So anyway, what am I going to do outside?  I need to rearrange my raised bed.  I will probably shovel all the dirt from the tomato side onto the other side and then refill with potting soil.  We're going to need a lot of it.  Better get Drake involved.  Luckily I can't do anything until it thaws out.  All the snow is gone, but it will be another few weeks before it's actually workable.  

I guess I should also be getting the gutter garden ready, since that will be planted with stuff the earliest.  It will thaw out fast.  I guess I will top it off with more soil 

I should probably try to harvest more worm castings...
