LOL. Now that’s an honest assessment of just how I feel about seed starting. I’d much rather just stick them in the ground, which is what I often do.

I also dread transplanting. So it’s the double dreads for me.

However Running out and stick a seed in the ground, in the Spring is fine. We get so much rain, don’t even need to pay that much attention to it. I guess that’s why I like to plant potatoes, garlic, and beans.

I actually like starting seeds. It helps me cope with that restless feeling in the spring, when the weather is warm but I know there will be freezes so I can’t plant outdoors yet.

The problem is, my house is much too dark. Even with supplemental light, I end up with seedlings so leggy they don’t even survive the trip to the garden.

That makes me sad.

Did ya’ll get some rain yesterday? Along about dusk, we got a nice little shower. Not sure how many inches. Rain barrel under the roof got about 1/4 full.

I was enough that I didn’t need to water the plants in pots this AM. Still working on cleaning up the patio areas. We have 4 patio areas of about 200 square ft. each.

It’s a constant battle to keep the two in back cleared, as the gardening stuff has tendency to be “parked” there for just a minute - that turns into days or weeks. LOL
