Roy take it easy in the snow and have fun in your tractor; you are really well equipped which is good.
Mostly, has the choir had its big Christmas sing yet? '
5 five tiered metal shelves came yesterday, someone, I believe the post office, dropped them right in the middle of my driveway, not even over by the garage. I found out about it when the regular mail lady came in and was moving them, embarrassed that some other PO employee had dumped them there on me. They were about thirty pounds apiece; maybe my little old lady mail lady was tasked again with something she couldn't pick up. Or it could have been temps for the xmas season. Let's see, five shelves times five times 200 for some of the seedling trays, going to be a lot of veggies. Though the melons and several other varieties need planting in the big holed trays, the 42's with removable inserts. Have never done this before on this scale, having fun figuring it out. Maybe the smart thing to do is put a plastic sheet down over my almost white carpeting in the sun room...but then I won't spill, right?....................
for the first year all the seeds that need direct planting, like corn and carrots, will be done with an Earthway push seeder. Got the extra plates for it that will do tiny seeds like carrots.
4 little packs of carrots are almost 2000 plants. I hope the food bank likes carrots...after I put some away for myself. Have been watching videos of different methods, including peach baskets layered with root crops and sawdust or straw.
