8/23/09 Laying Out Seedlings

10/7/2009

Sunday 8/23/09 - laid out seedling beds for the Fall garden. Found maybe 6 or so trays of slotted cups, some empty trays, and 1-1/2 bags of potting soil. Previously had spent some time making some little paper pots from a potmaker we found in Hank's room after he died, and so had 70 of those. All told, about 240 spaces for seedlings. Is this a lot, or pitifully little? I just don't know at this juncture. Linda helped me set them out, and that's a good thing 'cause the sun was going down just as we finished. We filled them with a mix of the potting soil and several shovelfulls of the composted manure from Pam's, then made an indentation in each slot with a pencil eraser and dropped in a seed or 2 for each. Then crimped the soil closed with our fingers.
Laid out were:
Turnips - purple top
Turnips - seven top
Beets - from 2 packages
Carrots - from 1 package
Cucumbers
Spinach
Lettuce
