Default In a rush

Started germinating early this year. The seeds are at least 3 - 5 years
old, and were stored in the refrigerator. The peas came on so fast that
I need to find my soil thermometer to see how close I am to transplant,
or re-pot. I almost totally lost a few lettuce potting cells to neglect,
but they have bounced back with watering. Brandywine, Green Zebra, and
Stupice tomatoes, squash, and cucumbers have shown themselves from last
Sundays planting. The peppers, typically, will take another week to show.

I may have walked myself out on a limb with germinating so soon, but as
we all know, there aren't any mistakes, just experiments.

Week-end work: prepping the lettuce bed, and replacing a Washington
orange tree that hasn't even flowered in the last 5 years, and replacing
it with an apricot. Maybe I can pot the orange and see if that works.

In any event, the jihad begins.
