We have had a few mishaps here. My first round of seedlings with lettuce and spinach was sabotaged...we have cats. I brought the tray out from under my lights and upstairs to our main floor. It was left out overnight and the cats ATE all the spinach. I think they are really needing some greens, but goodness sakes, leave my plant babies alone, LOL!!! So that tray was done. I've been hardening off my cabbages and mustards under the hoophouses outside and they are going gangbusters out there. I really need to get them into the ground, but I am just so pressed for time. I've been helping a friend all month with her home daycare because she went on vacation to Australia. Needless to say, I prefer the plants right now because I am so excited for spring and I have so many new things going on and *sigh*, a gardener just wants to get her hands in the dirt. But I am really happy for my friend because this home daycare business is A LOT of work and I am exhausted by the time the weekend rolls around.
Here is our green project for the day: we transplanted 25 tomato seedlings into much bigger pots. I am going to conduct my own growth and taste tests this year with San Marzano tomatoes vs. Amish Paste. Does anyone have a preference out there on which one you like to grow/eat??? I've never grown either one before so I am anxious for summer to see the results. I am super excited to can all the summer goodness as well. I was so busy canning last summer that I never posted my production results. I know I canned over 70 jars of jam (we go through a lot of it--plus it's great for gifts). Hopefully, I can be more on top of it as far as posting what I'm preserving this year. I will try!
