In gardening news

The replacement parts for the raised bed arrived yesterday via FedEx. Each corner joint was wrapped in brown paper, and arrived intact.

Initial indications for next weekend call for sunny and 60s. I know that can change in a heartbeat, but I hold out hope that I can get the bed set up then.

In other other news, I am noticing that the seedlings that I moved to peat pots look shorter than the ones in the lighted bed, but also appear sturdier. No, I haven't read detailed instructions as to when to move out seedlings and how high the lamp and so forth. Even if half the sprouts go south, I would still have more than enough veggies, and I haven't even accounted for the green peppers and strawberries, which have yet to arrive.

Next year, I would like to try salad greens...
