It's the first quarter of the second lunar month. Time to plant, inside of course, the fruits that bear above the ground. Like tomatoes, squash, cucumbers and melons. So I checked on the seeds that I should have inventoried during the winter, and I had what I needed. Then I realized my planting pots and such were in the garden shed. A 50 foot run through a little over 2 feet of snow separated them from me. 3 fifteen minute sessions of shoveling got me to my recycled pots and potting soil.

After washing the pots with soapy water and rinsing them in a solution of 1/2 gallon of water to 1/4 cup of bleach, I was ready for planting. I didn't want to repeat last year's error of not cleaning them well enough, and watching my tomatoes wilt in their starting pots.

This year they're sterilized

Supper's ready. Lasagna, m-m. Planting will wait 'til tomorrow.
