growth
I have seed starts all over my kitchen, each vying for their share of sunlight. The Boston and lemon cucumbers and summer squashes have outgrown the trays and really need to be transplanted to larger containers but it just isn’t the right time of moon phase to do it. I sure hope they can hold out for another week without losing their lustre. I used fluorescent bulbs for their growth for the first time and I love the results! Seeing firsthand the difference the lights make vs. the usual limping around trying to get a few growing for my own garden, has given me ideas for selling the starts at farmers market next spring. If I only focused on selling the starts I would have maybe two months at the market instead of 5or6. I figure those who want to buy starts for their own garden will have everything they want by the 1st of June and then I’d be done. I could always continue selling if my own garden produced enough for feeding us, canning and the market but the market fares would be last. We have a nice farmers market and a few stands with organic produce but I can’t say that we have any stands with organic vegetable starts/plants and I think it’d be a good seller.

I’m so jealous. I haven’t started a thing yet. Sooo far behind, it’s almost too late to even start.
