Peppers, Egglpant, Broccoli, Cabbage and Tomatoes, Oh My!

Polly gave us a great surprise gift of seedlings today that were ready to be potted up or directly planted. It was great to talk with her, too. We went over what areas we can use around our house and which trees they planted and learned a bit more history of the house. She's going to find their photo album from when they lived here and Seth who is now 17, was 1.

We set up on our work table outside and filled up lots of 4" pots, went through to choose the hardiest seedlings and snipped the rest. The transplanting went great. The weather was sunny and mild. We used the volvo as a staging spot, the black roof and hood were quite toasty.. and then loaded each completed tray in as we finished. When we were done we drove over to the greenhouses at Scott + Robin's.

They were home and it was the first time we'd seen them since coming back. Robin gave us a solid greenhouse operating demo and showed us all the Lemon Balm, thousands of volunteer plants we can transplant and use. Also a Cuban Oregano plant and succulents she's happy to have us take cuttings and make use of.

As soon as we got back home, we went to town on the area Polly said we could use. More on the blackberry clearing adventure tomorrow, back to work for now.
