Don and I remain chile wimps but we found Cbanelles our speed so have 1 1/2
seedling trays going. I also decided to try Anaheim seeds so have a tray of
that going.
Outdoor planting here starts 9 April. The beans go in the containers as is
(wax and green this year). I have 9 tomato plants of different types waining
to go in happy in the greenhouse for now. Total of 12 trays setup.
Don's still clearing container garden (they mostly rootballed over this year
which happens so dirt is replaced and rotty parts get broken up and fill dips).
We've got 2 eating cherry trees in full bloom and the 2 apple trees showing off
for each other.
