“Looks like I lost about 50% of the tobacco plants that were in egg cartons”

I’ve been looking at your post for several minutes, trying to think of something to say about losing that many tobacco. If I lost one plant of anything, I’d be in a funk. I’m too attached to those plants but I don’t care - don’t mess with my plants.

It’s 59 degrees outside. Are you colder than that?

Temp shows as 49F here. I've planted another 56 tobacco and they are inside on the restored sun-shelf and sitting on a heating pad.

I'm not thrilled about the setback, but I've got plenty of time to recover from it.

It's just part of life's rich pageant.

I went to Wal-mart this am with my Home Depot circular in tow, and got the 1 cubic foot bags of Miracle Grow Garden Soil for 2 bucks a bag. The usual price is $4.88 a bag for that size.

It’s not as good a product as it used to be, but it’s better than my clay soil, which is getting better with mushroom compost, and Miracle Grow Garden Soil mixed in down deep. Also, I put it in the bottom of the smart pots as they are so deep, most roots wouldn’t reach, and it takes up space cheaper than if I used just black gold potting mix.

My Tromboncino Squash grew more in the night, but I’m sure it liked the greenhouse better. It was pretty cold here last night-low 50’s or high 40’s. I’m gonna put some wall of water red plastic things around them in a minute to try to make them happy again.
