I got bummed out twice, the next morning the basil sprouts were gone, something ate them, it's either snails, slugs or crickets. I bounced back and planted more Genovese basil indoor. This time, I will grow them indoor under my 320W grow light, its rated for a 4 x 4 tent, so I shouldn't have any problems.
I knew I was missing something. Guess I need to buy more seeds.
Yesterday here was cold, windy & rainy. Went from a/c back to heat. I was forcing myself to rest on ice packs because the sacroiliac shots won't work if I jump back right into my normal activities. The sun is shining this morning. I must get eggs to market & tend to flock but will also do a walk about & check over the garden areas once it dries up more out there. I can already see the weeds out front that I didn't get to yet are thriving. Well, it's not like they're goin anywherethey'll be there when I get to them. And that'll be a project...They're growing in rocks & gravel. I did pick off all the seed heads at least. I just can't do digging right now. The shots have made a difference in the lower back but the right hip is still hurting so I will probably need more shots there.
I do need to get some more seeds planted! Direct sow outside, the corn seeds. The farmers are just doing theirs so I'm still ok timewise, I guess, but I feel very late. Where does time go?
Has anyone saved zucchini seeds to plant the next year? I'm planting both Black Beauty and Fordhook varieties, which are bush types. If they do well, I'd like to save the seed.
However, there are enough seeds in the packet for at least 2-3 years.
I had cuttings from my grandmother's African violets, but the plants died years ago.
