• Luck. Wonderful luck. Fresh air, warm weather, too many plants.

  Transplanted the kohlrabi after it got horribly mangled today. And the brocoli.
  And most of the serano peppers.

  Not much left to transplant. Red bell peppers. Wonder bells. That's pretty much it.

  Bloody Butcher tomatoes, Tennesee cheese peppers, and ancho peppers are all on their way...so we'll be starting those this april. My new school books are coming mid-April. We're gonna start working the ground this April.

  We made our first sale, yesterday. To a lady in the city who's gardening. 10 beefsteaks, 4 jalepenos, 2 of each of these tomato varieties; red zebra, green zebra, purple cherokee, red brandywine...and she recently added two red bells to her list.

  Works out to be 12 or so bucks, at fifty cents a plant. The lady's really happy to get them, really appreciative, my Mom says. So I'm glad.

  We think we may have to put up most of the extra cherry tomatoes on freecycle. Just a ton of everything. We've got...maybe 39 serano peppers, that we added to the list today. I reckon we'll have a TON of red bells, and a decent amount of wonder bells, too.
  We'll see about trying to see some at a flea market, this April. Not sure if we can afford splitting the spot with Alicia, but it'd help us alot, with space, if we could sell off some of the plants there in April.

  I promise, I'll take as many pictures as I can as things progress. I still need to take new pictures of the tables.

  It's been a nice Friday, it was warm enough to open the windows for a little while...inspiring our neighbor to work with his power tools on his porch and for one of our cats to slip outside...which meant we had to chase her down and lug her crying self back inside (she loves the outdoors, xD -- and she's the cat that we can put a collar on and walk, without worrying she'll slip out or anything).

  On the "what's left to get" front, I've got five things on my ebay.
  Bushel gourd seeds.
  Prickly pear cactus seeds
  Black beauty zucchini seeds
  Black aztec corn
  Par-cel seeds

  I'll be buying the cactai seeds Monday, when the auction ends 'cause they're only a buck and I have that much in my paypal, heh. The rest're buy it nows that last for another month, so I'll be able to get them by time I get paid again (from mylot). The most expensive item, is the black aztec corn. Blue dent would be cheaper, if Shumways took paypal.
